Abstract
This paper introduces an efficient algorithm to develop a privacy-preserving voice verification based on iVector and linear discriminant analysis techniques. This research considers a scenario in which users enrol their voice biometric to access different services (i.e., banking). Once enrolment is completed, users can verify themselves using their voice print instead of alphanumeric passwords. Since a voice print is unique for everyone, storing it with a third-party server raises several privacy concerns. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a novel technique based on randomization to carry out voice authentication, which allows the user to enrol and verify their voice in the randomized domain. To achieve this, the iVector-based voice verification technique has been redesigned to work on the randomized domain. The proposed algorithm is validated using a well-known speech dataset. The proposed algorithm neither compromises the authentication accuracy nor adds additional complexity due to the randomization operations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
