New audio watermarking embeds recoverable data, aids manipulation detection

Researchers have developed a novel audio watermarking technique that embeds auxiliary information within speech recordings to proactively defend against localized content manipulation. This method builds upon a self-embedding audio steganography framework, allowing for the recovery of manipulated segments and training-free detection without the need for spoofed examples. Experiments demonstrate that the embedded payload, enabling approximate reconstruction of authentic content, is fully recovered without errors, with the choice of neural codec significantly impacting detection and localization performance. AI

IMPACT This research could enhance the integrity of audio content by providing a robust method for detecting and recovering manipulated speech segments.

    Combining Self-Embedding Audio Watermarking with Ultra-Low-Bitrate Neural Codecs

    Partial manipulation of speech recordings, where only localized segments of an utterance are altered, poses a significant challenge for content integrity verification, as reliable detection and localization of such edits becomes harder as the manipulated proportion decreases. Wat…
