In this paper, we propose a deep-learning framework for environmental sound deepfake detection (ESDD) -- the task of identifying whether the sound scene and sound event in an input audio recording is fake or not. To this end, we conducted…

Environmental sound detection is a challenging application of machine learning because of the noisy nature of the signal, and the small amount of (labeled) data that is typically available. This work thus presents a comparison of several…

Deep neural network (DNN)-based models for environmental sound classification are not robust against a domain to which training data do not belong, that is, out-of-distribution or unseen data. To utilize pretrained models for the unseen…
