Overview

As Principal Investigator of the EPSRC project MIMER, I released VeriVoice-V1 (IEEE DataPort, 2026), built with industrial partner STech.ai for deepfake-resistant identity proofing.

The corpus supports research on bilingual Urdu–English speech, closing a gap in existing anti-spoofing benchmarks that are dominated by monolingual English material. It is one of three public datasets released under MIMER, alongside MSS and iRAW.

VeriVoice-V1 was the project's first public dataset deliverable and is intended for researchers working on remote identity verification, presentation-attack detection, and audio deepfake forensics.
