Abstract
Microphone identification is a crucial challenge in the field of digital audio forensics. The ability to accurately identify the type of microphone used to record a piece of audio can provide important information for forensic analysis and crime investigations. In recent years, transformer-based deep-learning models have been shown to be effective in many different tasks. This paper proposes a system based on a transformer for microphone identification based on recorded audio. Two types of experiments were conducted: one to identify the model of the microphones and another in which identical microphones were identified within the same model. Furthermore, extensive experiments were performed to study the effects of different input types and sub-band frequencies on system accuracy. The proposed system is evaluated on the Audio Forensic Dataset for Digital Multimedia Forensics (AF-DB). The experimental results demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art accuracy for inter-model and intra-model microphone classification with 5-fold cross-validation.

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
