Abstract

With the advancement of speech recognition techniques, AI-powered voice assistants become ubiquitous. However, it also increases privacy concerns regarding users’ voice recordings. User-level membership inference detects whether a service provider misused users’ audio to build its Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model without users’ consent. Previous research assumes the model’s outputs, including its label (i.e., transcription) and confidence score, are available for security auditing. However, the model’s outputs are unavailable in many real-world cases, i.e., no-label black-box scenarios, which is a big challenge. We propose a substitute model analysis to transfer the knowledge of the service system to that of its built-in ASR model’s behavior with semantic analysis techniques. Based on this analysis, our auditor can determine the user-level membership with high accuracy (∼ 80%) by utilizing a shadow system technique and a gap inference method. The gap inference-based auditor is generic and independent of ASR models.
