Forensic Similarity for Speech Deepfakes
In this paper, we introduce a digital audio forensics approach called Forensic Similarity for Speech Deepfakes, which determines whether two audio segments contain the same forensic traces or not. Our work is inspired by prior work in the image domain on forensic similarity, which proved strong generalization capabilities against unknown forensic traces, without requiring prior knowledge of them at training time. To achieve this in the audio setting, we propose a two-part deep-learning system c…
