What Counts as Real? Speech Restoration and Voice Quality Conversion Pose New Challenges to Deepfake Detection

arXiv:2603. 14033v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Audio anti-spoofing systems are typically trained to assign one authenticity label to an entire speech utterance.

The Watermark Shortcut: How Provenance Marking Sabotages Audio Deepfake Detection

Provenance watermarking is increasingly treated as a safeguard for synthetic speech, whether built directly into speech-generation models such as Chatterbox, provided through dedicated techniques such as AudioSeal, or deployed by commercial platforms such as ElevenLabs. We identify a previously uncharacterized liability: when synthetic speech is watermarked and human speech is not, detectors trained alongside latch onto the watermark as a spurious "watermark => fake" shortcut.

MADBench: A Benchmark for Modality-Aware Audio Deepfake Detection

arXiv:2608. 09593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in speech synthesis and audio generation have made high-fidelity acoustic forgery low-cost and difficult to attribute, enabling a realistic attack scenario in which speech and background audio are independently manipulated over otherwise authentic video.
