Summary

This study examines whether speaker-adversarial perturbations, which mislead speaker recognition models, can be removed from speech entirely. The authors test three scenarios of attacker knowledge (ignorant, semi-informed, well-informed) across optimization-based and feedforward perturbation generators on the LibriSpeech dataset. They find perturbations are not eliminated in the ignorant or semi-informed cases, while feedforward perturbations are considerably reduced in the semi-informed case and nearly eliminated in the well-informed case, allowing restoration of the original speech.
