MFAAN: Unveiling Audio Deepfakes With A Multi-feature Authenticity Network

Abstract

In the contemporary digital age, the proliferation of deepfakes presents a formidable challenge to the sanctity of information dissemination. Audio deepfakes, in particular, can be deceptively realistic, posing significant risks in misinformation campaigns. To address this threat, we introduce the Multi-Feature Audio Authenticity Network (MFAAN), an advanced architecture tailored for the detection of fabricated audio content. MFAAN incorporates multiple parallel paths designed to harness the strengths of different audio representations, including Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), linear-frequency cepstral coefficients (LFCC), and Chroma Short Time Fourier Transform (Chroma-STFT). By synergistically fusing these features, MFAAN achieves a nuanced understanding of audio content, facilitating robust differentiation between genuine and manipulated recordings. Preliminary evaluations of MFAAN on two benchmark datasets, 'In-the-Wild' Audio Deepfake Data and The Fake-or-Real Dataset
