Abstract

A speech spoofing countermeasure (CM) that discriminates between unseen spoofed and bona fide data requires diverse training data. While many datasets use spoofed data generated by speech synthesis systems, it was recently found that data vocoded by neural vocoders were also effective as the spoofed training data. Since many neural vocoders are fast in building and generation, this study used multiple neural vocoders and created more than 9,000 hours of vocoded data on the basis of the VoxCeleb2 corpus. This study investigates how this large-scale vocoded data can improve spoofing countermeasures that use data-hungry self-supervised learning (SSL) models. Experiments demonstrated that the overall CM performance on multiple test sets improved when using features extracted by an SSL model continually trained on the vocoded data. Further improvement was observed when using a new SSL distilled from the two SSLs before and after the continual training. The CM with the distilled SSL outperformed the previous best model on challenging unseen test sets, including the ASVspoof 2019 logical access, WaveFake, and In-the-Wild.

  • [22] showed state-of-the-art performance when using large-scale vocoded spoofed data for continuous SSL training.

    “Recently, [22] showed state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance when using large-scale vocoded spoofed data for continuous SSL training.”

    From Exploring Self-supervised Embeddings and Synthetic Data Augmentation for Robust Audio Deepfake Detection (2024) · cites this paper as [22]

    Section 3.3 reports that continual SSL training on large-scale vocoded data improved pooled error rates. The Conclusion (p. unavailable) says a countermeasure using an additional distillation method outperformed the previously best model on challenging test sets such as In-the-Wild. The unqualified claim of state-of-the-art performance from continual training alone overstates that narrower result. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • The proposed approach outperforms the continuous SSL training strategy of [22] by extending the original training set with vocoded data without requiring an additional large corpus for pre-training the upstream.

    “Our proposed approach outperforms the continuous SSL training strategy proposed in [22] by extending the original training set with the vocoded data without requiring an additional large corpus for pre-training the upstream.”
  • Even when only the original ASVspoof 2019 training data is used (without additional vocoded data), the best system achieves a competitive overall performance (NN-ACP with 8.51% EER) compared with systems proposed in [22].

    “Moreover, even when only the original training data for ASVspoof 2019 is used (i.e., without additional vocoded data), our corresponding best system still achieves a competitive overall performance (NN-ACP with 8.51% EER) compared with the systems proposed in [22].”
  • The P3 system yields the best results on WaveFake, but our models achieve better results on the remaining test sets and the best overall performance (5.13% vs 9.98% EER).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
