Multilingual Music Deepfake Detection Using WavLM and MERT Audio Embeddings
摘要
With the growth in AI-generated material, a new issue has emerged in the form of deepfake music. These deepfakes are constructed with advanced models that can mimic human sounds or music in a variety of languages and accents. In this paper, we investigate the identification of multilingual music deepfakes - leveraging data from four languages: German, English, Spanish, and French. Regardless of the language or accent used, we aim to develop a system that can recognize phony music clips. We propose a novel framework that combines embeddings from WavLM-base-plus-sv, a speech and speaker-centric model, and MERT-v1-330M, an acoustic music understanding transformer, with a lightweight multilayer perceptron classifier to distinguish between real and deepfake music samples.
