Emotional Surveillance is an emerging area with wide-reaching privacy concerns. These concerns are exacerbated by ubiquitous IoT devices with multiple sensors that can support these surveillance use cases. The work presented here considers one such use case: the use of a speech emotion recognition (SER) classifier tied to a smart speaker. This work demonstrates the ability to evade black-box SER classifiers tied to a smart speaker without compromising the utility of the smart speaker. This privacy concern is considered through the lens of adversarial evasion of machine learning. Our solution, Defeating Acoustic Recognition of Emotion via Genetic Programming (DARE-GP), uses genetic programming to generate non-invasive additive audio perturbations (AAPs). By constraining the evolution of these AAPs, transcription accuracy can be protected while simultaneously degrading SER classifier performance. The additive nature of these AAPs, along with an approach that generates these AAPs for a fixed set of users in an utterance and user location-independent manner, supports real-time, real-world evasion of SER classifiers. DARE-GP's use of spectral features, which underlay the emotional content of speech, allows the transferability of AAPs to previously unseen black-box SER classifiers. Further, DARE-GP outperforms state-of-the-art SER evasion techniques and is robust against defenses employed by a knowledgeable adversary. The evaluations in this work culminate with acoustic evaluations against two off-the-shelf commercial smart speakers, where a single AAP could evade a black box classifier over 70% of the time. The final evaluation deployed AAP playback on a small-form-factor system (raspberry pi) integrated with a wake-word system to evaluate the efficacy of a real-world, real-time deployment where DARE-GP is automatically invoked with the smart speaker's wake word.
