The third edition of the Symposium on Security & Privacy in Speech Communication, focuses on speech and voice through which we express ourselves. As speech communication can be used to command virtual assistants to transport emotion or to identify oneself, the symposium encourages participants to give answers on how we can strengthen security and privacy for speech representation types in user-centric human/machine interaction? The symposium therefore sees that interdisciplinary exchange is in high demand and aims to bring together researchers and practitioners across multiple disciplines – more specifically: signal processing, cryptography, security, human-computer interaction, law, ethics, and anthropology.
The third edition of the VoicePrivacy Challenge Workshop is spearheading the effort to develop privacy preservation solutions for speech technology. It aims to consolidate the newly formed community to develop the task and metrics and to benchmark progress in anonymization solutions using common datasets, protocols and metrics. VoicePrivacy 2022 Challenge participants are encouraged to submit to the SPSC Symposium papers related to their Challenge entry, as well as other scientific papers related to voice privacy and anonymization.
To strengthen the efforts for both events, ease joined discussions, and extend the interdisciplinary exchange, we decided to combine our teams and organized a joined event. For the general symposium, we welcome contributions to related topics, as well as progress reports, project dissemination, or theoretical discussions and “work in progress”. In addition, guests from academia, industry and public institutions as well as interested students are welcome to attend the conference without having to make their own contribution.
Although, we aim for meeting all of you on-site, we also opt for virtual presentations during the symposium.
