ToolDF is a tool‑integrated reasoning framework designed for detecting mixed‑authenticity audio deepfakes, where genuine and manipulated audio cues coexist across time or overlapping sources. It uses an audio large language model to orchestrate tasks such as source separation and routing to domain‑specific experts, aggregating their evidence into an interpretable verdict. The authors also introduce a mixed‑authenticity ADD benchmark and report that ToolDF outperforms monolithic baselines, achieving significant macro‑F1 gains while localizing evidence to specific temporal regions and acoustic sources.
arXiv:2606. 15141v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While LALMs show promise on audio question answering, they fail to focus on question-relevant segments of audio and provide a clear, checkable reasoning process when dealing with complex audio reasoning.

arXiv:2606. 11219v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio language models (ALMs) are increasingly used for speech-based understanding, yet their ability to perform semantic reasoning beyond transcription, Text-to-Audio Retrieval, Captioning, and Question-Answering accuracy remains insufficiently benchmarked.
The paper introduces ContraTalk, a benchmark that tests whether dialogue models truly use acoustic cues or rely on transcript shortcuts. It formalizes cross‑modal disagreement, creates conflict and consistent QA examples, and proposes an Audio Twin representation to expose acoustic evidence to models. Experiments show that while text‑only LLMs perform well on consistent cases, they falter on conflict cases, and AudioLLMs only partially mitigate this issue.
arXiv:2603. 10725v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The modern generative audio models can be used by an adversary in an unlawful manner, specifically, to impersonate other people to gain access to private information.
The paper introduces VeriSpeak, a benchmark of 3,879 spoken claims for evaluating fact verification in Large Audio Language Models (LALMs). It shows a clear modality gap: models that verify written claims well often fail on spoken versions, and retrieval alone offers limited improvement. Combining retrieval with explicit reasoning yields the best performance, reaching 86.1% accuracy and demonstrating the need for grounded reasoning over retrieved evidence in speech misinformation detection.

arXiv:2607. 14753v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in text-to-speech and voice cloning make high-quality spoofing inexpensive and scalable, threatening voice authentication systems, especially automatic speaker verification (ASV).
