Bridging Domain Expertise and Generalization for Performance Estimation

arXiv:2606. 06335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Performance estimation under distribution shift aims to predict how a model behaves on an unlabeled test set whose distribution differs from the training data, a scenario that requires reliable indicators that can faithfully reflect model behavior without ground-truth labels.

RAT: Reference-Augmented Training for ASV Anti-Spoofing

arXiv:2606. 10908v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce a spoofing countermeasure architecture conditioned on speaker-reference recordings, but observe that it converges to a solution that effectively ignores the reference during inference.

Dependence on Early and Late Reverberation of Single-Channel Speaker Distance Estimation

arXiv:2605. 07694v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Single-channel speaker distance estimation has recently achieved centimeter-level accuracy in simulated environments, yet it remains unclear which components of the room impulse response (RIR) the model exploits and how performance depends on the recording conditions.

MADS: A Multiview Acoustic Descriptor Set Beyond Standard Spectral Summaries

MADS (Multi-view Acoustic Descriptor Set) is a compact 19‑dimensional, physics‑informed descriptor set designed to capture spectral, temporal, mechanical, and stochastic aspects of audio signals. Unlike traditional log‑mel or MFCC representations, MADS encodes excitation, damping, periodicity, impulsiveness, and structural consistency in a unified multi‑view format. Evaluated on ESC‑10, ESC‑50, and MSoS datasets with classical machine learning models, MADS outperforms conventional 26‑D MFCC and 38‑D spectral‑summary baselines, achieving 81.00% on ESC‑10, 52.78% on ESC‑50, and 67.48% on MSoS while using roughly half the dimensionality of the 38‑D baseline.
