A conformer-based classifier for variable-length utterance processing in anti-spoofing Roselló Casado, Eros Gómez Alanís, Alejandro Gómez García, Ángel Manuel Peinado Herreros, Antonio Miguel The success achieved by conformers in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) leads us to their application in other domains, such as spoofing detection for automatic speaker verification (ASV), where the conformer self-attention mechanism might effectively model and detect the artifacts introduced in spoofed speech signals. Also, conformers can naturally handle the variable duration of speech utterances. However, as with transformers, the conformer performance may degrade when trained with limited data. To address this issue, we propose utilizing conformers in conjunction with self-supervised learning, specifically leveraging a pre-trained model called wav2vec 2.0, which is pre-trained using a substantial amount of bonafide data. Our experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves one of the best results in the recent ASVspoof 2021 logical access (LA) and deep fake (DF) databases. 2024-02-09T09:10:54Z 2024-02-09T09:10:54Z 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article https://hdl.handle.net/10481/88807 10.21437/Interspeech.2023-1820 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess ISCA - Interspeech 2023
