Enhancing Anti-spoofing Countermeasures Robustness through Joint Optimization and Transfer Learning (2407.20111v1)

Abstract: Current research in synthesized speech detection primarily focuses on the generalization of detection systems to unknown spoofing methods of noise-free speech. However, the performance of anti-spoofing countermeasures (CM) system is often don't work as well in more challenging scenarios, such as those involving noise and reverberation. To address the problem of enhancing the robustness of CM systems, we propose a transfer learning-based speech enhancement front-end joint optimization (TL-SEJ) method, investigating its effectiveness in improving robustness against noise and reverberation. We evaluated the proposed method's performance through a series of comparative and ablation experiments. The experimental results show that, across different signal-to-noise ratio test conditions, the proposed TL-SEJ method improves recognition accuracy by 2.7% to 15.8% compared to the baseline. Compared to conventional data augmentation methods, our system achieves an accuracy improvement ranging from 0.7% to 5.8% in various noisy conditions and from 1.7% to 2.8% under different RT60 reverberation scenarios. These experiments demonstrate that the proposed method effectively enhances system robustness in noisy and reverberant conditions.
