Abstract
This paper proposes a new defense approach for counteracting state-of-the-art white and black-box adversarial attack algorithms. Our approach fits into the implicit reactive defense algorithm category since it does not directly manipulate the potentially malicious input signals. Instead, it reconstructs a similar signal with a synthesized spectrogram using a cyclic generative adversarial network. This cyclic framework helps to yield a stable generative model. Finally, we feed the reconstructed signal into the speech-to-text model for transcription. The conducted experiments on targeted and non-targeted adversarial attacks developed for attacking DeepSpeech, Kaldi, and Lingvo models demonstrate the proposed defense's effectiveness in adverse scenarios.

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
