Query: Are you wearing a mask? Improving mask detection from speech using
  augmentation by cycle-consistent GANs   The task of detecting whether a person wears a face mask from speech is
useful in modelling speech in forensic investigations, communication between
surgeons or people protecting themselves against infectious diseases such as
COVID-19. In this paper, we propose a novel data augmentation approach for mask
detection from speech. Our approach is based on (i) training Generative
Adversarial Networks (GANs) with cycle-consistency loss to translate unpaired
utterances between two classes (with mask and without mask), and on (ii)
generating new training utterances using the cycle-consistent GANs, assigning
opposite labels to each translated utterance. Original and translated
utterances are converted into spectrograms which are provided as input to a set
of ResNet neural networks with various depths. The networks are combined into
an ensemble through a Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier. With this
system, we participated in the Mask Sub-Challenge (MSC) of the INTERSPEECH 2020
Computational Paralinguistics Challenge, surpassing the baseline proposed by
the organizers by 2.8%. Our data augmentation technique provided a performance
boost of 0.9% on the private test set. Furthermore, we show that our data
augmentation approach yields better results than other baseline and
state-of-the-art augmentation methods.
