Playback Attack Detection: The Search for the Ultimate Set of Antispoof Features
PublicationAutomatic speaker verification systems are vulnerable to several kinds of spoofing attacks. Some of them can be quite simple – for example, the playback of an eavesdropped recording does not require any specialized equipment nor knowledge, but still may pose a serious threat for a biometric identification module built into an e-banking application. In this paper we follow the recent approach and convert recordings to images, assuming...

An Efficient Noisy Binary Search in Graphs via Median Approximation
PublicationConsider a generalization of the classical binary search problem in linearly sorted data to the graph-theoretic setting. The goal is to design an adaptive query algorithm, called a strategy, that identifies an initially unknown target vertex in a graph by asking queries. Each query is conducted as follows: the strategy selects a vertex q and receives a reply v: if q is the target, then =, and if q is not the target, then v is a...
