- Manas A. Pathak, B. Raj, S. Rane, P. Smaragdis. 2013. Privacy Preserving Speech Processing. Abstract: • It is generally expected that intelligent devices will respond to voice. The voice will often not be processed locally, but relegated to a remote server, as data owners may not have the resources to process their own data. This poses serious privacy risks to the user. •A person’s voice is a legally-accepted biometric, and carries information about their identity, gender, nationality, health, emotional state and a variety of other factors. •The remote voice service could potentially make undesired inferences about any of these factors, which may be unrelated to the actual service provided. •This poster discuss ”privacy preserving” computational approaches for voice processing that prevent such undesired inferences through cleverly-designed cryptographic and hashing schemes.
