Long-Term Conversation Analysis: Privacy-Utility Trade-off under Noise and Reverberation
Recordings in everyday life require privacy preservation of the speech content and speaker identity. This contribution explores the influence of noise and reverberation on the trade-off between privacy and utility for low-cost privacy-preserving methods feasible for edge computing. These methods compromise spectral and temporal smoothing, speaker anonymization using the McAdams coefficient, sampling with a very low sampling rate, and combinations. Privacy is assessed by automatic speech and speaker recognition, while our utility considers voice activity detection and speaker diarization. Overall, our evaluation shows that additional noise degrades the performance of all models more than reverberation. This degradation corresponds to enhanced speech privacy, while utility is less deteriorated for some methods.
