Towards Zero-Shot Attribution of Synthetic Speech via Audio-Text Contrastive Retrieval

Cristian-Teodor Neamtu, Serban Mihalache, Stefan Smeu +3

Audio deepfake forensics is moving beyond a simple real-or-fake verdict toward attribution: which system generated the audio clip? Most source-attribution methods cast this as clos…

Mapping Written Words to Spoken Words in a Different Language Using Only Visual Grounding

Gabriel Pirlogeanu, Dan Oneata, Horia Cucu +1

In many low-resource settings, even just eliciting speech for data collection is difficult. One promising approach has been to ask speakers to describe images. But how do we build…

Connecting Speech to Words through Images

Gabriel Pirlogeanu, Dan Oneata, Horia Cucu +1

How can we learn the mapping between written words and their spoken counterparts in the absence of explicit textual supervision? We present a visually grounded method for building…

Anchoring the Unknown: Open-Set Model Attribution via Proxy-Anchor Learning

Cristian-Teodor Neamtu, Serban Mihalache, Stefan Smeu +3

The proliferation of text-to-speech (TTS) systems capable of generating realistic synthetic speech poses growing challenges for audio forensics. While binary deepfake detection has…

Echoes: A semantically-aligned music deepfake detection dataset

Octavian Pascu, Dan Oneata, Horia Cucu +1

We introduce Echoes, a new dataset for music deepfake detection designed for training and benchmarking detectors under realistic and provider-diverse conditions. Echoes comprises 4…
