Almieyar: A Culturally Grounded Benchmark for Multi-Dialect Arabic Speech Recognition
Omid Ghahroodi, Anas Madkoor, Dima Faris Al Saudi +37
Arabic speech technology has largely focused on Modern Standard Arabic, leaving the living dialects spoken by hundreds of millions under-served. We introduce ALMIEYAR, a culturally…
Textual Acoustic Grounding for Generalizable LLM-Based Deepfake Voice Detection
Yassine El Kheir, Xin Wang, Wanqing Ge +3
Deepfake voice detection suffers from poor generalization across unseen domains. While Audio Large Language Models (ALLMs) show promise, the modality gap between continuous audio e…
Evidence Subspace Projection: Measuring How Much Evidence Explains Deepfake Detection in Self-Supervised Speech Models
Yixuan Xiao, Cheng-Wei Lin, Xin Wang +5
Self-supervised learning (SSL) models are widely used as feature extractors for state-of-the-art audio deepfake detection, but it remains unclear how to directly and quantitatively…
DFKI-Speech System for WildSpoof Challenge: A robust framework for SASV In-the-Wild
Arnab Das, Yassine El Kheir, Enes Erdem Erdogan +3
This paper presents the DFKI-Speech system developed for the WildSpoof Challenge under the Spoofing aware Automatic Speaker Verification (SASV) track. We propose a robust SASV fram…
A Parameter-Efficient Multi-Scale Convolutional Adapter for Synthetic Speech Detection
Yassine El Kheir, Fabian Ritter-Guttierez, Arnab Das +2
Recent synthetic speech detection models typically adapt a pre-trained SSL model via finetuning, which is computationally demanding. Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) offers a…
Generalizable Audio Spoofing Detection using Non-Semantic Representations
Arnab Das, Yassine El Kheir, Carlos Franzreb +3
Rapid advancements in generative modeling have made synthetic audio generation easy, making speech-based services vulnerable to spoofing attacks. Consequently, there is a dire need…
Two Views, One Truth: Spectral and Self-Supervised Features Fusion for Robust Speech Deepfake Detection
Yassine El Kheir, Arnab Das, Enes Erdem Erdogan +3
Recent advances in synthetic speech have made audio deepfakes increasingly realistic, posing significant security risks. Existing detection methods that rely on a single modality,…
BiCrossMamba-ST: Speech Deepfake Detection with Bidirectional Mamba Spectro-Temporal Cross-Attention
Yassine El Kheir, Tim Polzehl, Sebastian Möller
We propose BiCrossMamba-ST, a robust framework for speech deepfake detection that leverages a dual-branch spectro-temporal architecture powered by bidirectional Mamba blocks and mu…
Comprehensive Layer-wise Analysis of SSL Models for Audio Deepfake Detection
Yassine El Kheir, Youness Samih, Suraj Maharjan +2
This paper conducts a comprehensive layer-wise analysis of self-supervised learning (SSL) models for audio deepfake detection across diverse contexts, including multilingual datase…
Beyond Orthography: Automatic Recovery of Short Vowels and Dialectal Sounds in Arabic
Yassine El Kheir, Hamdy Mubarak, Ahmed Ali +1
This paper presents a novel Dialectal Sound and Vowelization Recovery framework, designed to recognize borrowed and dialectal sounds within phonologically diverse and dialect-rich…
Speech Representation Analysis based on Inter- and Intra-Model Similarities
Yassine El Kheir, Ahmed Ali, Shammur Absar Chowdhury
Self-supervised models have revolutionized speech processing, achieving new levels of performance in a wide variety of tasks with limited resources. However, the inner workings of…
Automatic Pronunciation Assessment -- A Review
Yassine El Kheir, Ahmed Ali, Shammur Absar Chowdhury
Pronunciation assessment and its application in computer-aided pronunciation training (CAPT) have seen impressive progress in recent years. With the rapid growth in language proces…
QVoice: Arabic Speech Pronunciation Learning Application
Yassine El Kheir, Fouad Khnaisser, Shammur Absar Chowdhury +3
This paper introduces a novel Arabic pronunciation learning application QVoice, powered with end-to-end mispronunciation detection and feedback generator module. The application is…
SpeechBlender: Speech Augmentation Framework for Mispronunciation Data Generation
Yassine El Kheir, Shammur Absar Chowdhury, Ahmed Ali +2
The lack of labeled second language (L2) speech data is a major challenge in designing mispronunciation detection models. We introduce SpeechBlender - a fine-grained data augmentat…
