ICLAD: In-Context Learning with Comparison-Guidance for Audio Deepfake Detection

Benjamin Chou, Yi Zhu, Surya Koppisetti

Audio deepfakes pose a significant security threat, yet current state-of-the-art (SOTA) detection systems do not generalize well to realistic in-the-wild deepfakes. We introduce a…
