Fast and Blind Speech Copy-Move Detection and Localization in Noise

Copy-move forgery on speech (CMF), coupled with post-processing techniques, presents a great challenge to the forensic detection and localization of tampered areas. Most of the existing CMF detection approaches necessitate pre-segmentation of speech to facilitate similarity calculations among these segments. However, these approaches usually suffer from the problems of uncontrollable computational complexity and sensitivity to the presence of a word that is read multiple times within a speech recording. To address these issues, we propose a local feature tensors-based CMF detection algorithm that can transform duplicate detection and localization problems into a special tensor-matching procedure, accompanied by complete theoretical analysis as support. Through extensive experimentation, we have demonstrated that our method exhibits computational efficiency and robustness against post-processing techniques. Notably, it can effectively and blindly detect tampered segments, even those as short as a fractional second. These advantages highlight the promising potential of our approach for practical applications.

Acoustic Scene Clustering Using Joint Optimization of Deep Embedding Learning and Clustering Iteration

Recent efforts have been made on acoustic scene classification in the audio signal processing community. In contrast, few studies have been conducted on acoustic scene clustering, which is a newly emerging problem. Acoustic scene clustering aims at merging the audio recordings of the same class of acoustic scene into a single cluster without using prior information and training classifiers. In this study, we propose a method for acoustic scene clustering that jointly optimizes the procedures of feature learning and clustering iteration. In the proposed method, the learned feature is a deep embedding that is extracted from a deep convolutional neural network (CNN), while the clustering algorithm is the agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC). We formulate a unified loss function for integrating and optimizing these two procedures. Various features and methods are compared. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other unsupervised methods in terms of the normalized mutual information and the clustering accuracy. In addition, the deep embedding outperforms many state-of-the-art features.

Sound event detection via dilated convolutional recurrent neural networks

Convolutional recurrent neural networks (CRNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance for sound event detection (SED). In this paper, we propose to use a dilated CRNN, namely a CRNN with a dilated convolutional kernel, as the classifier for the task of SED. We investigate the effectiveness of dilation operations which provide a CRNN with expanded receptive fields to capture long temporal context without increasing the amount of CRNN's parameters. Compared to the classifier of the baseline CRNN, the classifier of the dilated CRNN obtains a maximum increase of 1.9%, 6.3% and 2.5% at F1 score and a maximum decrease of 1.7%, 4.1% and 3.9% at error rate (ER), on the publicly available audio corpora of the TUT-SED Synthetic 2016, the TUT Sound Event 2016 and the TUT Sound Event 2017, respectively.
