SceneFake: An initial dataset and benchmarks for scene fake audio detection.

Many datasets have been designed to further the development of fake audio detection. However, fake utterances in previous datasets are mostly generated by altering timbre, prosody, linguistic content or channel noise of original audio. These datasets leave out a scenario, in which the acoustic scene of an original audio is manipulated with a forged one. It will pose a major threat to our society if some people misuse the manipulated audio with malicious purpose. Therefore, this motivates us to fill in the gap. This paper proposes such a dataset for scene fake audio detection named SceneFake, where a manipulated audio is generated by only tampering with the acoustic scene of an real utterance by using speech enhancement technologies. Some scene fake audio detection benchmark results on the SceneFake dataset are reported in this paper. In addition, an analysis of fake attacks with different speech enhancement technologies and signal-to-noise ratios are presented in this paper. The results indicate that scene fake utterances cannot be reliably detected by baseline models trained on the ASVspoof 2019 dataset. Although these models perform well on the SceneFake training set and seen testing set, their performance is poor on the unseen test set. The dataset 2 2 https://zenodo.org/record/7663324#.Y%5fXKMuPYuUk. and benchmark source codes 3 3 https://github.com/ADDchallenge/SceneFake. are publicly available. • This paper proposes a new problem: scene fake audio detection. • This is the first attempt to pose such an audio fake attack using speech enhancement. • This paper designs a dataset and provides benchmarks for scene fake audio detection. • The dataset provides speech enhancement technology information of fake utterances. • The dataset and benchmark source codes are publicly available. • The dataset will further foster research on fake audio detection.
