Patent attributes
A method is provided for identifying synthetic “deep-fake” audio samples versus organic audio samples. Methods may include: generating a model of a vocal tract using one or more organic audio samples from a user; identifying a set of bigram-feature pairs from the one or more audio samples; estimating the cross-sectional area of the vocal tract of the user when speaking the set of bigram-feature pairs; receiving a candidate audio sample; identifying bigram-feature pairs of the candidate audio sample that are in the set of bigram-feature pairs; calculating a cross-sectional area of a theoretical vocal tract of a user when speaking the identified bigram-feature pairs; and identifying the candidate audio sample as a deep-fake audio sample in response to the calculated cross-sectional area of the theoretical vocal tract of a user failing to correspond within a predetermined measure of the estimated cross sectional area of the vocal tract of the user.
