Zero-day Audio Deepfake Detection Via Retrieval Augmentation And Profile Matching

Abstract

Modern audio deepfake detectors built on foundation models and large training datasets achieve promising detection performance. However, they struggle with zero-day attacks, where the audio samples are generated by novel synthesis methods that models have not seen from reigning training data. Conventional approaches fine-tune the detector, which can be problematic when prompt response is needed. This paper proposes a training-free retrieval-augmented framework for zero-day audio deepfake detection that leverages knowledge representations and voice profile matching. Within this framework, we propose simple yet effective retrieval and ensemble methods that reach performance comparable to supervised baselines and their fine-tuned counterparts on the DeepFake-Eval-2024 benchmark, without any additional model training. We also conduct ablation on voice profile attributes, and demonstrate the cross-database generalizability of the framework with introducing simple and training-free fusion st
