Abstract

We describe two submissions to Task B of the 1st DAFx Parameter Estimation Challenge, which estimates an unknown number of modal frequency, decay, and gain triples from a synthetic plate-reverb impulse response. The first method combines pooled spectral features with time-domain and absolute-scale conditioning in a real-valued convolutional count-density network, while the second uses a complex-valued Transformer count-density network. Both methods jointly infer the modal count and per-mode attributes directly from the IR. On an independently generated 100-IR comparison set, the two neural estimators achieve lower overall challenge error than the evaluated classical baselines, with frequency and decay estimation substantially more accurate than gain estimation.

NVV-Locator: From Transcript Tags to Acoustic Boundaries for Fine-Grained Nonverbal Vocalization Grounding

Human speech includes nonverbal vocalizations (NVVs), such as laughter, sighs, breaths, and coughs, which convey affective and interactional information. Existing approaches typically represent NVVs as transcript-level tags, providing limited supervision for their waveform-time boundaries. We present NVV-Locator for fine-grained NVV temporal grounding. We first unify 26 NVV categories across public resources and construct large-scale timestamp-supervised training data through dual-LLM verification, transcript-guided forced alignment, and energy-based boundary refinement. We further introduce NVV-TimeBench, an expert-refined benchmark with 667 utterances and 1,094 events. NVV-Locator uses a non-autoregressive slot-filling architecture to jointly predict lexical timestamps, NVV categories, and event boundaries. On NVV-TimeBench, it achieves 71.0% Micro F1, 70.2% Macro F1, 80.4% Macro mIoU, and 59.6 ms Macro mMAE, outperforming the evaluated large audio model counterparts. Evaluation on an external corpus further demonstrates the cross-corpus generalization of NVV-Locator.

Attendance-guided speaker enrollment across meetings

Speaker-aware applications rely on enrolled voice profiles, yet collecting enrollment speech from every participant is impractical. Meeting archives provide an alternative source of enrollment speech, comprising recordings of recurring participants paired with expected attendance lists. We investigate whether expected attendance lists can be cross-referenced with diarized anonymous speaker clusters to identify reliable enrollment speech for recurring participants. The resulting task, multi-participant automatic enrollment, must accommodate two types of attendance noise: a listed participant may not speak, and a speaker may be unlisted. To this end, we introduce a benchmark for the task: a synthetic corpus calibrated to an in-house meeting corpus, paired with a contamination-sensitive evaluation protocol. The reference method we introduce scores cross-session cluster chains against expected-attendance patterns and abstains when the evidence is insufficient. We quantify the reference method's benchmark performance as a trade-off between enrollment success and contamination. Applying synthetic-development thresholds unchanged to real meetings exposes a synthetic-to-real gap that remains an open challenge. We will release the benchmark generator and evaluation code.

VeriSpoof: Beyond Real or Fake with One Audio LLM

A speech deepfake detector estimates whether a recording is synthetic, but a forensic analyst also asks which system produced it, whether recordings share a source, and what evidence supports each conclusion. We present VeriSpoof, an audio language model that unifies five tasks with shared weights: deepfake detection, generator attribution (generator, acoustic model and vocoder), recording-condition analysis, synthesized-span localisation, and source verification. Each decision is supported by grounded rationales whose statements can be independently verified. Answers are scored by sentence likelihood, allowing detection and source verification to be thresholded without separate heads. Rationale statements can be checked against waveform measurements, span labels, or generator metadata. Counterfactual examples train decisions to follow the stated evidence. Across the 14 Speech-DF-Arena test sets, VeriSpoof-Plus achieves 2.14% pooled EER, ranking third of 28 systems and first among open-weight systems. VeriSpoof-Base, trained only on official training splits of eight corpora, achieves 4.43% EER, less than half that of the next open-weight detector. With the same weights, VeriSpoof-Plus verifies whether recordings from generators unseen in training share a source at 6.2% EER. Controlled studies show that the audio representation governs detection, the LLM governs recording comparison, and source supervision is necessary for neural-codec fakes. Statement-checkable rationales catch partial fakes missed by one-step answers (99.6% vs. 78.4% on PartialEdit) and determine decisions under edits unseen in training (99.5%). Training updates only 29.7M of 2.85B parameters, fitting a single 24 GB GPU with gradient checkpointing. We release both models, inference code, a demo, and VeriSpoof-Bench, the evaluation suite covering these questions.
