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