Audio Deepfake Detection Using Fusion of Fractal and MFCCs Features
摘要
Deepfake audio is growing so convincing that it threatens our ability to trust phone calls, voice notes, and news broadcasts. To counter this, we combine state-of-the-art features, such as Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) with lightweight signal descriptors–spectral centroid, bandwidth, roll-off, and zero-crossing rate–and three Fractal Dimension measures: Hurst R/S exponent, Katz fractal dimension (FD), and Higuchi FD. These fractal features capture subtle self-similar patterns in genuine speech that synthetic voices still struggle to replicate.
