PC-Mix: Partial-Component Audio Spoofing Detection under Mixed Speech and Environmental Sound Conditions

Recent studies on partial audio spoofing mainly focus on studio-recorded speech with temporal localization of spoofed segments. However, these studies often overlook realistic conditions where spoofed and bonafide segments simultaneously coexist across speech and environmental sound components. In this paper, we present PC-Mix, the first dataset for partial-component spoofing detection, where either or both audio components may be partially spoofed. In PC-Mix, bonafide and partially spoofed environmental-sound components are first constructed and mixed with speech signals from an existing partial-spoof dataset, producing audio in which either or both components may be locally manipulated. This design addresses two major gaps in existing partial spoofing benchmarks: the lack of realistic environmental sounds in speech partial spoofing scenarios and the absence of partial spoofing detection for environmental sound components. We further establish standardized evaluation protocols and design a joint learning framework to optimize spoofing detection across speech, environmental sound, and mixed audio. Experiments highlight the increased difficulty introduced by mixed conditions. The results demonstrate that training under matched target conditions is more effective than directly transferring models trained on speech or environmental sound components.

CompSpoof: A Dataset and Joint Learning Framework for Component-Level Audio Anti-spoofing Countermeasures

Component-level audio Spoofing (Comp-Spoof) targets a new form of audio manipulation where only specific components of a signal, such as speech or environmental sound, are forged or substituted while other components remain genuine. Existing anti-spoofing datasets and methods treat an utterance or a segment as entirely bona fide or entirely spoofed, and thus cannot accurately detect component-level spoofing. To address this, we construct a new dataset, CompSpoof, covering multiple combinations of bona fide and spoofed speech and environmental sound. We further propose a separation-enhanced joint learning framework that separates audio components apart and applies anti-spoofing models to each one. Joint learning is employed, preserving information relevant for detection. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms the baseline, highlighting the necessity of separate components and the importance of detecting spoofing for each component separately.

Location-Oriented Sound Event Localization and Detection with Spatial Mapping and Regression Localization

Sound Event Localization and Detection (SELD) combines the Sound Event Detection (SED) with the corresponding Direction Of Arrival (DOA). Recently, adopted event oriented multi-track methods affect the generality in polyphonic environments due to the limitation of the number of tracks. To enhance the generality in polyphonic environments, we propose Spatial Mapping and Regression Localization for SELD (SMRL-SELD). SMRL-SELD segments the 3D spatial space, mapping it to a 2D plane, and a new regression localization loss is proposed to help the results converge toward the location of the corresponding event. SMRL-SELD is location-oriented, allowing the model to learn event features based on orientation. Thus, the method enables the model to process polyphonic sounds regardless of the number of overlapping events. We conducted experiments on STARSS23 and STARSS22 datasets and our proposed SMRL-SELD outperforms the existing SELD methods in overall evaluation and polyphony environments.
