Speaker Orientation-Aware Privacy Control to Thwart Misactivation of Voice Assistants

2023 53RD ANNUAL IEEE/IFIP INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DEPENDABLE SYSTEMS AND NETWORKS, DSN, pp. 597–610.

By: S. Zhang n, A. Sabir n & A. Das n

author keywords: Voice assistant; Privacy control; Signal processing
TL;DR: This paper proposes a device-free, non-obtrusive acoustic sensing system called HeadTalk, which leverages the user's head direction information and verifies that a human generates the sound to minimize accidental activations of VAs. (via Semantic Scholar)

VoicePM: A Robust Privacy Measurement on Voice Anonymity

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 16TH ACM CONFERENCE ON SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN WIRELESS AND MOBILE NETWORKS, WISEC 2023, pp. 215–226.

By: S. Zhang n, Z. Li n & A. Das n

author keywords: Voice assistant; Voice anonymity; Privacy control
TL;DR: This study develops a tradeoff metric to capture voice biometrics as well as different voice attributes and proposes VoicePM, a robust Voice Privacy Measurement framework, to study the feasibility of applying different state-of-the-art voice anonymization solutions to achieve the optimum tradeoff between privacy and utility.

Evaluating Relationships between Perception-Reaction Times, Emergency Deceleration Rates, and Crash Outcomes using Naturalistic Driving Data

TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD, 2675(1), 213–223.

By: J. Wood* & S. Zhang n

TL;DR: This research developed predictive models for PRT and deceleration rate that could be used for roadway design and indicated that minimum design SSD values would increase by 10.5–129.2 ft, dependent on the design speed and SSD model used. (via Semantic Scholar)

A WiFi-based Home Security System

2020 IEEE 17TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MOBILE AD HOC AND SMART SYSTEMS (MASS 2020), pp. 129–137.

By: S. Zhang n, R. Venkatnarayan n & M. Shahzad n

TL;DR: A Wi Fi based security system that uses commodity WiFi devices, which most modern households already have, to perform the three primary tasks of typical home security systems, detected intrusions with over 95% accuracy and identified the exact door/window that moved with just 4.5% average error.

Identification and Calculation of Horizontal Curves for Low-Volume Roadways Using Smartphone Sensors

TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD, 2672(39), 1–10.

By: J. Wood* & S. Zhang n

TL;DR: A low-cost mobile road inventory system for two-lane horizontal curves based on off-the-shelf smartphones capable of accurately detecting horizontal curves by exploiting a K-means machine learning technique and achieves high curve identification accuracy as well as high accuracy for calculating curve radius and superelevation.
