AnchorPrompt: Self-Distilled Soft Prompts for Robust Audio-Language Models

AnchorPrompt is an adaptation technique for large audio‑language models that keeps the base model frozen and learns a single block of prompt vectors inserted at the decoder input. By training these prompts through self‑distillation on diverse audio and text perturbations, the method improves answer consistency and reduces hallucinations across multiple benchmarks. The approach is perturbation‑agnostic at inference, enabling zero‑shot transfer to unseen distortions such as reverberation and choice permutations.

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.

What Do Deepfake Speech Detectors Actually Hear?

arXiv:2606. 10912v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deepfake speech detectors often output a single score without explaining why an audio sample is flagged, where in the signal the evidence lies, or what cues drive the decision.
