ToolDF: Tool-Integrated Reasoning for Mixed-Authenticity Audio Deepfake Detection

Audio deepfake detection is commonly formulated as clip-level binary classification of single-domain audio. However, real-world manipulated audio can exhibit mixed authenticity, where genuine and manipulated cues coexist across temporal transitions, overlapping sources, or both. This setting requires not only detecting manipulated audio but also localizing the components that provide evidence for the decision. We propose ToolDF, a tool-integrated reasoning framework for mixed-authenticity audio deepfake detection. ToolDF employs an audio large language model as an orchestrator trained with supervised tool-use trajectories. It adaptively analyzes the audio scene, selectively performs source separation, routes components to domain-specific experts, and aggregates their evidence into an interpretable verdict. We further introduce a mixed-authenticity ADD benchmark covering temporal transitions, acoustic overlaps, and hybrid mixtures. Experimental results show that ToolDF achieves the best overall performance on composite-type detection, achieving macro-F1 gains of 3.72 and 14.39 points over the strongest monolithic baseline and a fixed pipeline, respectively, while providing interpretable evidence localized to temporal regions and acoustic sources. Our source code and dataset are publicly available online.

Instance-Specific Test-Time Training for Speech Editing in the Wild

Speech editing systems aim to naturally modify speech content while preserving acoustic consistency and speaker identity. However, previous studies often struggle to adapt to unseen and diverse acoustic conditions, resulting in degraded editing performance in real-world scenarios. To address this, we propose an instance-specific test-time training method for speech editing in the wild. Our approach employs direct supervision from ground-truth acoustic features in unedited regions and indirect supervision in edited regions via auxiliary losses based on duration constraints and phoneme prediction. This strategy mitigates the bandwidth discontinuity problem in speech editing, ensuring smooth acoustic transitions between unedited and edited regions. Additionally, it enables precise control over speech rate by adapting the model to target durations via mask length adjustment during test-time training. Experiments on in-the-wild benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms existing speech editing systems in both objective and subjective evaluations.
