Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods including software processes executed by a server that implement a machine-learning architecture for audio source tracing for deepfake detection. The computer extracts a feature vector representing features of the input audio signal. The machine-learning architecture includes one or more embedding extractors for extracting one or more feature vectors from the input audio signal. An attribute detector ingests an embedding and scoring layers generate a source-indicating attribute score. A source tracer includes a multi-class classifier to generate a signal source score using the attribute scores and generates a signal source class.
