This paper describes a submission to the Environment-Aware Speech and Sound Deepfake Detection Challenge (ESDD2) 2026, which addresses component-level deepfake detection using the CompSpoofV2 dataset, where speech and environmental sounds…
The audio data is increasing day by day throughout the globe with the increase of telephonic conversations, video conferences and voice messages. This research provides a mechanism for identifying a speaker in an audio file, based on the…
The increasing prevalence of audio deepfakes poses significant security threats, necessitating robust detection methods. While existing detection systems exhibit promise, their robustness against malicious audio manipulations remains…
Partial audio deepfakes, where synthesized segments are spliced into genuine recordings, are particularly deceptive because most of the audio remains authentic. Existing detectors are supervised: they require frame-level annotations,…
Expressive reading, considered the defining attribute of oral reading fluency, comprises the prosodic realization of phrasing and prominence. In the context of evaluating oral reading, it helps to establish the speaker's comprehension of…
The widespread use of generative AI has shown remarkable success in producing highly realistic deepfakes, posing a serious threat to various voice biometric applications, including speaker verification, voice biometrics, audio conferencing,…
Recent progress in generative AI has made it increasingly easy to create natural-sounding deepfake speech from just a few seconds of audio. While these tools support helpful applications, they also raise serious concerns by making it…
The growing prevalence of real-world deepfakes presents a critical challenge for existing detection systems, which are often evaluated on datasets collected just for scientific purposes. To address this gap, we introduce a novel dataset of…
Prosody modeling is an essential component in modern text-to-speech (TTS) frameworks. By explicitly providing prosody features to the TTS model, the style of synthesized utterances can thus be controlled. However, predicting natural and…
Prosody is essential for speech technology, shaping comprehension, naturalness, and expressiveness. However, current text-to-speech (TTS) systems still struggle to accurately capture human-like prosodic variation, in part because existing…
Cross-speaker style transfer in speech synthesis aims at transferring a style from source speaker to synthesized speech of a target speaker's timbre. In most previous methods, the synthesized fine-grained prosody features often represent…
Humans often speak in a continuous manner which leads to coherent and consistent prosody properties across neighboring utterances. However, most state-of-the-art speech synthesis systems only consider the information within each sentence…
