• Title: Real-time Detection of AI-Generated Speech for DeepFake Voice Conversion
• Authors: Jordan J. Bird, Ahmad Lotfi
• Abstract summary: This study consists of real human speech from eight well-known figures and their speech converted to one another using Retrieval-based Voice Conversion. It is found that the Extreme Gradient Boosting model can achieve an average classification accuracy of 99.3% and can classify speech in real-time, at around 0.004 milliseconds given one second of speech.

• Abstract: There are growing implications surrounding generative AI in the speech domain that enable voice cloning and real-time voice conversion from one individual to another. This technology poses a significant ethical threat and could lead to breaches of privacy and misrepresentation, thus there is an urgent need for real-time detection of AI-generated speech for DeepFake Voice Conversion. To address the above emerging issues, the DEEP-VOICE dataset is generated in this study, comprised of real human speech from eight well-known figures and their speech converted to one another using Retrieval-based Voice Conversion. Presenting as a binary classification problem of whether the speech is real or AI-generated, statistical analysis of temporal audio features through t-testing reveals that there are significantly different distributions. Hyperparameter optimisation is implemented for machine learning models to identify the source of speech. Following the training of 208 individual machine learning models over 10-fold cross validation, it is found that the Extreme Gradient Boosting model can achieve an average classification accuracy of 99.3% and can classify speech in real-time, at around 0.004 milliseconds given one second of speech. All data generated for this study is released publicly for future research on AI speech detection.

  We study a function that can predict the forthcoming words and estimate the time remaining until the end of an utterance. We develop a cross-attention-based algorithm that incorporates both acoustic and linguistic information. Results demonstrate the proposed model's ability to predict upcoming words and estimate future EOU events up to 300ms prior to the actual EOU.

  Speech signals, typically sampled at rates in the tens of thousands per second, contain redundancies.

Applying various methods, such as de-duplication and subword modeling, can further compress the speech sequence length.

We scale NaturalSpeech 2 to large-scale datasets with 44K hours of speech and singing data and evaluate its voice quality on unseen speakers. NaturalSpeech 2 outperforms previous TTS systems by a large margin in terms of prosody/timbre similarity, synthesis, and voice quality in a zero-shot setting.

  We train several voice conversion models using self-supervised speech representations. Converted voices retain a low word error rate within 1% of the original voice. Experiments on dysarthric speech data show that speech features relevant to articulation, prosody, phonation and phonology can be extracted from anonymized voices.

In addition to the existing contrastive learning task, we switch the quantized representations of the original and noisy speech as additional prediction targets.

• On Prosody Modeling for ASR+TTS based Voice Conversion [82.65378387724641]
  In voice conversion, an approach showing promising results in the latest voice conversion challenge (VCC) 2020 is to first use an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model to transcribe the source speech into the underlying linguistic contents. Such a paradigm, referred to as ASR+TTS, overlooks the modeling of prosody, which plays an important role in speech naturalness and conversion similarity. We propose to directly predict prosody from the linguistic representation in a target-speaker-dependent manner, referred to as target text prediction (TTP)
