Key Finding
Cross-dataset evaluation proves that balancing bonafide resources and AI generators is key to achieving general deepfake speech detection models
In this paper, we analyze two main factors of Bonafide Resource (BR) or AI-based Generator (AG) which affect the performance and the generality of a Deepfake Speech Detection (DSD) model. To this end, we first propose a deep-learning based model, referred to as the baseline. Then, we conducted experiments on the baseline by which we indicate how Bonafide Resource (BR) and AI-based Generator (AG) factors affect the threshold score used to detect fake or bonafide input audio in the inference process. Given the experimental results, a dataset, which re-uses public Deepfake Speech Detection (DSD) datasets and shows a balance between Bonafide Resource (BR) or AI-based Generator (AG), is proposed. We then train various deep-learning based models on the proposed dataset and conduct cross-dataset evaluation on different benchmark datasets. The cross-dataset evaluation results prove that the balance of Bonafide Resources (BR) and AI-based Generators (AG) is the key factor to train and achieve a general Deepfake Speech Detection (DSD) model.

Paper proposes a detection system for AI-generated speech (deepfakes) — this is AI-generated content detection for audio, which is output integrity/authenticity verification.
