Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Voice is often described as an “auditory face”; it provides important information concerning speaker identity (e.g., age, height, sex). The acoustic properties related to voice can also vary substantially within a speaker based on one’s emotional, social, and linguistic states. Recent work suggests that biological components have the greatest impact in the acoustic variability found in voice, followed by language-specific factors and speaking style [Lee & Kreiman, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 153, A295 (2023)]. The effects of such within- vs. between-speaker acoustic variability on the perception of speaker identity, however, have not been explored. The present study therefore examines the perception of speaker identity in bilingual voices. The prediction is that acoustic variability will also affect speaker identity perception: voices will be discriminated best for between-speaker samples, while within-speaker variability will not affect perception of speaker to the same extent. To test this prediction, listeners participated in a voice discrimination task using bilingual voice data produced by Korean heritage speakers across different languages (Korean, English) and speech styles (read, extemporaneous). The data will be analyzed to measure the effects of speaker, language, and speech style on voice discrimination. The results will be reported in relevance to the relationship between bilingualism and speech style on voice quality and speaker identity.

Not 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.
