Connectionists: First VoicePrivacy Challenge at Interspeech 2020

[Apologies for cross-posting]

Dear colleagues,

The registration for the First VoicePrivacy Challenge is open now!

The VoicePrivacy 2020 Challenge Evaluation Plan is available on the
Challenge website:
https://www.voiceprivacychallenge.org/docs/VoicePrivacy_2020_Eval_Plan_v1_1.pdf


The VoicePrivacy initiative is spearheading the effort to develop
privacy preservation solutions for speech technology. It aims to gather
a new community to define the task and metrics and to benchmark initial
solutions using common datasets, protocols and metrics. VoicePrivacy
takes the form of a competitive challenge. The challenge is to develop
anonymization solutions which suppress personally identifiable
information contained within speech signals. At the same time, solutions
should preserve linguistic content and speech quality/naturalness. The
challenge will conclude with a session/event held in conjunction with
Interspeech 2020 at which challenge results will be made publicly available.

Please find more information about on the challenge website:
