• Title: Deepfake audio detection by speaker verification
• Authors: Alessandro Pianese and Davide Cozzolino and Giovanni Poggi and Luisa Verdoliva
• Abstract summary: We propose a new detection approach that leverages only the biometric characteristics of the speaker, with no reference to specific manipulations. The proposed approach can be implemented based on off-the-shelf speaker verification tools. We test several such solutions on three popular test sets, obtaining good performance, high generalization ability, and high robustness to audio impairment.

• Abstract: Thanks to recent advances in deep learning, sophisticated generation tools exist, nowadays, that produce extremely realistic synthetic speech. However, malicious uses of such tools are possible and likely, posing a serious threat to our society. Hence, synthetic voice detection has become a pressing research topic, and a large variety of detection methods have been recently proposed. Unfortunately, they hardly generalize to synthetic audios generated by tools never seen in the training phase, which makes them unfit to face real-world scenarios. In this work, we aim at overcoming this issue by proposing a new detection approach that leverages only the biometric characteristics of the speaker, with no reference to specific manipulations. Since the detector is trained only on real data, generalization is automatically ensured. The proposed approach can be implemented based on off-the-shelf speaker verification tools. We test several such solutions on three popular test sets, obtaining good performance, high generalization ability, and high robustness to audio impairment.

  We present a novel approach for synthetic speech detection, exploiting the combination of two high-level semantic properties of the human voice. On one side, we focus on speaker identity cues and represent them as speaker embeddings extracted using a state-of-the-art method for the automatic speaker verification task. On the other side, voice prosody, intended as variations in rhythm, pitch or accent in speech, is extracted through a specialized encoder.

  The aim of this work is to propose a deepfake detector that can cope with the wide variety of manipulation methods and scenarios encountered in the real world. We leverage a contrastive learning paradigm to learn the moving-face and audio segment embeddings that are most discriminative for each identity. Our method can detect both single-modality (audio-only, video-only) and multi-modality (audio-video) attacks, and is robust to low-quality or corrupted videos.
