Do Compact SSL Backbones Matter for Audio Deepfake Detection? A Controlled Study with RAPTOR

Ajinkya Kulkarni, Sandipana Dowerah, Atharva Kulkarni +2

Self-supervised learning (SSL) underpins modern audio deepfake detection, yet most prior work centers on a single large wav2vec2-XLSR backbone, leaving compact under studied. We pr…

Adapting the adapters for code-switching in multilingual ASR

Atharva Kulkarni, Ajinkya Kulkarni, Miguel Couceiro +1

Recently, large pre-trained multilingual speech models have shown potential in scaling Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to many low-resource languages. Some of these models emplo…
