Attacker Challenge at ICASSP 2025

The First VoicePrivacy Attacker Challenge is a new kind of challenge organized as part of the VoicePrivacy initiative. It focuses on developing attacker systems against voice anonymization, which will be evaluated against state-of-the-art anonymization systems including some submitted to the VoicePrivacy 2024 Challenge Training, development, and evaluation datasets are provided along with baseline attacker systems. To develop attacker systems, the Challenge participants can use any additional training data and models, provided that they are openly available and declared before the specified deadline. Participants should develop their attacker systems in the form of automatic speaker verification systems and submit their scores on the test and development data to the organizers. The metric for evaluation is equal error rate (EER).

  • Task: develop an attacker system against voice anonymization systems in the form of an automatic speaker verification (ASV) system.

  • Data for training, development, and evaluation are provided along with baseline attacker systems. To develop attacker systems, the Challenge participants can use any additional training data and models, provided that they are openly available and declared before the specified deadline.

  • Metric: equal error rate (EER) resulting from the ASV attacker.

  • Results and accepted challenge papers will be presented at a special session at ICASSP 2025, Hyderabad, India.
