Abstract
As automatic speaker recognizer systems become mainstream, voice spoofing attacks are on the rise. Common attack strategies include replay, the use of text-to-speech synthesis, and voice conversion systems. While previouslyproposed end-to-end detection frameworks have shown to be effective in spotting attacks for one particular spoofing strategy, they have relied on different models, architectures, and speech representations, depending on the spoofing strategy. In practice, however, one does not have a priori information regarding the strategy an attacker might employ to fool a speaker recognizer, thus it is necessary to devise approaches which are able to detect attacks regardless of the strategy employed to generate them. In this work, we introduce an end-to-end ensemble based approach such that two models - previously shown to perform well on each considered attack strategy - are trained jointly, while a third model learns how to mix their outputs yielding a single score. Experimental results with replay and text-to-speech/voice conversion attacks show the proposed ensemble method achieving similar or superior performance when compared to systems specialized on each spoofing strategy separately.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
