Replay Attacks Against Audio Deepfake Detection

Nicolas Müller, Piotr Kawa, Wei-Herng Choong +5

We show how replay attacks undermine audio deepfake detection: By playing and re-recording deepfake audio through various speakers and microphones, we make spoofed samples appear a…

Harder or Different? Understanding Generalization of Audio Deepfake Detection

Nicolas M. Müller, Nicholas Evans, Hemlata Tak +2

Recent research has highlighted a key issue in speech deepfake detection: models trained on one set of deepfakes perform poorly on others. The question arises: is this due to the c…

Imbalance in Regression Datasets

Daniel Kowatsch, Nicolas M. Müller, Kilian Tscharke +2

For classification, the problem of class imbalance is well known and has been extensively studied. In this paper, we argue that imbalance in regression is an equally important prob…

Protecting Publicly Available Data With Machine Learning Shortcuts

Nicolas M. Müller, Maximilian Burgert, Pascal Debus +3

Machine-learning (ML) shortcuts or spurious correlations are artifacts in datasets that lead to very good training and test performance but severely limit the model's generalizatio…

Complex-valued neural networks for voice anti-spoofing

Nicolas M. Müller, Philip Sperl, Konstantin Böttinger

Current anti-spoofing and audio deepfake detection systems use either magnitude spectrogram-based features (such as CQT or Melspectrograms) or raw audio processed through convoluti…

Shortcut Detection with Variational Autoencoders

Nicolas M. Müller, Simon Roschmann, Shahbaz Khan +2

For real-world applications of machine learning (ML), it is essential that models make predictions based on well-generalizing features rather than spurious correlations in the data…

R2-AD2: Detecting Anomalies by Analysing the Raw Gradient

Jan-Philipp Schulze, Philip Sperl, Ana Răduţoiu +2

Neural networks follow a gradient-based learning scheme, adapting their mapping parameters by back-propagating the output loss. Samples unlike the ones seen during training cause a…

Gradient Masking and the Underestimated Robustness Threats of Differential Privacy in Deep Learning

Franziska Boenisch, Philip Sperl, Konstantin Böttinger

An important problem in deep learning is the privacy and security of neural networks (NNs). Both aspects have long been considered separately. To date, it is still poorly understoo…
