DETECT-3B-Omni is Agnostic of Content and Demographics

Nicolas M. Müller, Aditya Tirumala Bukkapatnam, Dominik Schnieders, Zohaib Ahmed

A trustworthy and GDPR-compliant deepfake audio detector must base its decisions on acoustic artifacts, not on what is being said or who is speaking. We present a large-scale study of semantic independence for Resemble AI's detector, DETECT-3B-Omni. Using 10,240 audio samples from diverse US English speakers across 30 states, generated through 8 different AI voice-cloning systems, we test whether detection accuracy depends on spoken content (benign versus malicious), speaker gender, speaker age, or speaker region. Using equivalence testing, our results show that the accuracy difference between any two of these groups is at most 2 percentage points, at 99% confidence. The detector therefore identifies AI-generated audio with equivalent accuracy regardless of what the audio says or who the speaker is.

What You Train Is What You Get: Gender Bias, Training Composition, and Post-Hoc Mitigation in Audio Deepfake Detection

Aishwarya R. Fursule, Vamshi Nallaguntla, Shruti Kshirsagar, Anderson R. Avila

Audio deepfake detection models determine whether speech is genuine or artificially generated, but high overall accuracy can mask substantial performance disparities across demographic groups. In this work, we investigate gender bias in audio deepfake detection using the ASVspoof…

Speaker-Disentangled Chunk-Wise Regression for Syllabic Tokenization

Ryota Komatsu, Kota Kawakita, Takuma Okamoto, Takahiro Shinozaki

Unsupervised syllabic tokenization aims to learn discrete syllabic tokens that capture latent linguistic content-related structure from raw speech. Recent syllabic tokenization methods employ teacher-student distillation of the pretrained HuBERT to organize latent speech frame re…

Phone Segmentation and Recognition through Phonological Activation Mapping

Shikhar Bharadwaj, Kwanghee Choi, Stephen McIntosh, Chin-Jou Li, Eunjung Yeo, Daisuke Saito, et al.

Phone segmentation and recognition are inherently related tasks, yet modern approaches typically model them separately. We argue that phonetic structure is already latent in the representations of self-supervised speech models (S3Ms), and one only needs to steer them to solve bot…

SceneBind: Binding What and Where Across Vision, Audio and Language

Mingfei Chen, Zijun Cui, Ruoke Zhang, Hyeonggon Ryu, Eli Shlizerman

We present SceneBind, an omni-modal representation of realistic scenes with joint semantic and 3D spatial understanding across vision, audio and language. Existing omni-modal encoders excel at instance-level semantics (i.e., what is present), but often lack explicit spatial struc…

AuEmoChat: Authentic Emotion Understanding and Rendering for Conversational Speech Synthesis

Zhenqi Jia, Yuan Zhao, Aruukhan, Rui Liu, Haizhou Li

Conversational Speech Synthesis (CSS) aims to synthesize speech with human-like emotional expression and contextual consistency in user-agent interactions. Existing CSS methods struggle to render authentic human emotions due to limited predefined emotion label spaces (e.g., seven…
