Abstract

Voice phishing detection faces three critical challenges: real criminal recordings are unavailable due to privacy constraints; when available, only a handful of samples exist, insufficient for fine-tuning; and lightweight acoustic-only detection is needed as an alternative to large self-supervised models. We compare domain-invariant prosodic features and self-supervised representations (HuBERT, wav2vec2.0) through cross-domain evaluation-training on scenario-based actor recordings and testing on authentic criminal calls. Domain-invariant prosodic features achieve 69.5% F1 zero-shot and 71.0% with 5-shot learning. HuBERT achieves highest performance (94.2% F1, 5-shot), while wav2vec2.0 exhibits a precision-oriented detection profile (90.2% F1 with 99.4% precision, 5-shot). These findings reveal fundamental trade-offs: domain-invariant features enable zero-shot deployment when no real data exists, while SSL methods achieve higher performance but require real samples and compute.

Advancing LLM-based phoneme-to-grapheme for multilingual speech recognition

Phoneme-based ASR factorizes recognition into speech-to-phoneme (S2P) and phoneme-to-grapheme (P2G), enabling cross-lingual acoustic sharing while keeping language-specific orthography in a separate module. While large language models (LLMs) are promising for P2G, multilingual P2G remains challenging due to language-aware generation and severe cross-language data imbalance. We study multilingual LLM-based P2G on the ten-language CV-Lang10 benchmark. We examine robustness strategies that account for S2P uncertainty, including DANP and Simplified SKM (S-SKM). S-SKM is a Monte Carlo approximation that avoids CTC-based S2P probability weighting in P2G training. Robust training and low-resource oversampling reduce the average WER from 10.56% to 7.66%.

SISER: Speaker-Invariant Speech Emotion Recognition with Entropy-Based Adversarial Training

Speech emotion recognition (SER) faces two fundamental challenges: scarcity of labeled data and inter-speaker variability, both of which hinder generalization of emotion recognition systems. While prior adversarial approaches address speaker variability, they fall short in leveraging powerful pre-trained representations. We propose SISER (Speaker-Invariant Speech Emotion Recognition), integrating wav2vec 2.0 as a feature encoder and ECAPA-TDNN as a speaker discriminator within an entropy-based adversarial training scheme. wav2vec 2.0 provides rich self-supervised representations that alleviate dependency on large labeled datasets, while ECAPA-TDNN enables suppression of speaker identity via a stronger adversarial signal than shallow classifiers. Evaluated on IEMOCAP, SISER achieves a UA of 60.63%, outperforming the baseline (51.15%) and wav2vec 2.0 without speaker suppression (56.46%), with ablation emphasizing that the choice of speaker classifier architecture is a key factor.

Interleaved Speech Language Models Latently Work In Text

Speech language models (SLMs) increasingly combine speech and text, often by interleaving their tokens within a single sequence. Yet how these two modalities interact in the model's latent space remains unclear. In this work, we analyze interleaved speech--text LMs from different model families and training configurations using three complementary methods. We reveal that these models pass through an implicit latent transcription phase in which the text token matching the spoken word becomes decodable in intermediate layers, despite not being trained for speech recognition. This phenomenon occurs in diverse, natural speech, and intermediate representations also encode likely text continuations. We further show that implicit transcription emerges most when combining text-LM pretraining and speech--text interleaving, and that its prevalence is positively associated with spoken factual-knowledge retrieval. Our analysis sheds light on the internal interaction between speech and text modalities in interleaved SLMs.
