Physiological-physical feature fusion for automatic voice spoofing detection

摘要

Biometric speech recognition systems are often subject to various spoofing attacks, the most common of which are speech synthesis and speech conversion attacks. These spoofing attacks can cause the biometric speech recognition system to incorrectly accept these spoofing attacks, which can compromise the security of this system. Researchers have made many efforts to address this problem, and the existing studies have used the physical features of speech to identify spoofing attacks. However, recent studies have shown that speech contains a large number of physiological features related to the human face. For example, we can determine the speaker’s gender, age, mouth shape, and other information by voice. Inspired by the above researches, we propose a spoofing attack recognition method based on physiological-physical features fusion. This method involves feature extraction, a densely connected convolutional neural network with squeeze and excitation block (SE-DenseNet), and feature fusion strategies. We first extract physiological features in audio from a pre-trained convolutional network. Then we use SE-DenseNet to extract physical features. Such a dense connection pattern has high parameter efficiency, and squeeze and excitation blocks can enhance the transmission of the feature. Finally, we integrate the two features into the classification network to identify the spoofing attacks. Experimental results on the ASVspoof 2019 data set show that our model is effective for voice spoofing detection. In the logical access scenario, our model improves the tandem decision cost function and equal error rate scores by 5% and 7%, respectively, compared to existing methods.
