Audio Spoof Detection (ASD) systems play a pivotal role in evaluating whether the input speech signal has been manipulated by an imposter attempting unauthorized access to an authentic user's account or if it genuinely originates from the declared user. Primarily used for person authentication, these systems strive to verify the speaker's claimed identity. Despite substantial technological... Read more
