Quantifying and Reducing Speaker Heterogeneity within the Common Voice Corpus for Phonetic Analysis
With its crosslinguistic and cross-speaker diversity, the Mozilla Common Voice Corpus (CV) has been a valuable resource for multilingual speech technology and holds tremendous potential for research in crosslinguistic phonetics and speech sciences. Properly accounting for speaker variation is, however, key to the theoretical and statistical bases of speech research. While CV provides a client ID as an approximation to a speaker ID, multiple speakers can contribute under the same ID. This study aims to quantify and reduce heterogeneity in the client ID for a better approximation of a true, though still anonymous speaker ID. Using ResNet-based voice embeddings, we obtained a similarity score among recordings with the same client ID, then implemented a speaker discrimination task to identify an optimal threshold for reducing perceived speaker heterogeneity. These results have major downstream applications for phonetic analysis and the development of speaker-based speech technology.

Measuring Heterogeneity in Machine Learning with Distributed Energy Distance
In distributed and federated learning, heterogeneity across data sources remains a major obstacle to effective model aggregation and convergence. We focus on feature heterogeneity and introduce energy distance as a sensi…

Commonality and Individuality! Integrating Humor Commonality with Speaker Individuality for Humor Recognition
Humor recognition aims to identify whether a specific speaker's text is humorous. Current methods for humor recognition mainly suffer from two limitations: (1) they solely focus on one aspect of humor commonalities, igno…
