Using Deepfake Technologies for Word Emphasis Detection

12 May 2023  ·  Eran Kaufman, Lee-Ad Gottlieb ·

In this work, we consider the task of automated emphasis detection for spoken language. This problem is challenging in that emphasis is affected by the particularities of speech of the subject, for example the subject accent, dialect or voice. To address this task, we propose to utilize deep fake technology to produce an emphasis devoid speech for this speaker. This requires extracting the text of the spoken voice, and then using a voice sample from the same speaker to produce emphasis devoid speech for this task. By comparing the generated speech with the spoken voice, we are able to isolate patterns of emphasis which are relatively easy to detect.
