Bridging the SEA Gap: An Initial Benchmark for Neural Audio Codec-Synthesized Speech Deepfakes in South-East Asian Languages

IJCAI 2026

Codecfakes (CFs) are a type of speech deepfakes generated through Audio Language Models (ALMs), with Neural Audio Codecs (NACs) forming the core mechanism for speech encoding and generation. CFs exhibit distributional characteristics that differ from vocoder-based deepfakes, causing detectors traine

Investigating Prosodic Signatures via Speech Pre-Trained Models for Audio Deepfake Source Attribution

ACL 2025finding

In this work, we investigate various state-of-the-art (SOTA) speech pre-trained models (PTMs) for their capability to capture prosodic sig-natures of the generative sources for audio deepfake source attribution (ADSD). These prosodic characteristics can be considered oneof major signatures for ADSD,…

Strong Alone, Stronger Together: Synergizing Modality-Binding Foundation Models with Optimal Transport for Non-Verbal Emotion Recognition

ICASSP 2025accepted

In this study, we investigate multimodal foundation models (MFMs) for emotion recognition from non-verbal sounds. We hypothesize that MFMs, with their joint pre-training across multiple modalities, will be more effective in non-verbal sounds emotion recognition (NVER) by better interpreting and diff…

Heterogeneity over Homogeneity: Investigating Multilingual Speech Pre-Trained Models for Detecting Audio Deepfake

NAACL 2024findings

In this work, we investigate multilingual speech Pre-Trained models (PTMs) for Audio deepfake detection (ADD). We hypothesize thatmultilingual PTMs trained on large-scale diverse multilingual data gain knowledge about diverse pitches, accents, and tones, during theirpre-training phase and making the…

FAtNet: Cost-Effective Approach Towards Mitigating the Linguistic Bias in Speaker Verification Systems

NAACL 2022findings

Linguistic bias in Deep Neural Network (DNN) based Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems is a critical problem that needs attention. The problem further intensifies in the case of security systems, such as speaker verification, where fairness is essential. Speaker verification systems are intell…
