Exploiting Acoustic and Content-Oriented Speaker Verification Attacks Against Multilingual Voice Anonymization

Attacker ASV systems for voice anonymization have been studied primarily in English, leaving their behavior in multilingual settings largely unexplored.

Key points

  • Conventional ASV has shown that both acoustic and contextual information are important for multilingual speaker verification.
  • Inspired by this, we investigate whether the same holds for attacker ASV on anonymized speech.
  • We evaluate both acoustic- and content-oriented attackers on multilingual anonymized speech and construct a multilingual voice-converted dataset to improve cross-lingual generalization.
  • Our results show that attacker effectiveness depends on the linguistic utility of the anonymized speech.
