Abstract: Audio-based kinship verification (AKV) is important in many domains, such as home security monitoring, forensic identification, and social network analysis. A key challenge in the task arises from differences in age across samples from different individuals, which can be interpreted as a domain bias in a cross-domain verification task. To address this issue, we design the notion of an “age-standardised domain” wherein we utilise the optimised CycleGAN-VC3 network to perform age-audio conversion to generate the in-domain audio. The generated audio dataset is employed to extract a range of features, which are then fed into a metric learning architecture to verify kinship. Experiments are conducted on the KAN_AV audio dataset.The results demonstrate that the method markedly enhances the accuracy of kinship verification, while also offering novel insights for future kinship verification research.
