Abstract
This work focuses on the problem of detecting fake audio clips. To improve current audio spoofing detection models, we propose a selection of multiple audio augmentations spe-cially designed to resemble audio spoofing attacks. These augmentations are experimentally found to be very useful and using them achieves a notable performance of 2.8% EER on the ASVspoof 2019 challenge evaluation set. Unlike the widely employed acoustic features, in this paper we explore the use of Mel-spectrogram image features and employ vari-ous audio codecs to achieve robustness to codec and transmission channel variability present in the ASVspoof2021 Evalu-ation set. To better handle spectral information, crucial to de-tect spoofing, we adopt the WaveletCNN and VGG16 archi-tectures which outperform all baselines. Finally, we find that robustness of countermeasure systems degrades dramatically when provided with speech samples degraded through VoIP network transmission or mismatching audio compression.

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
