Interspeech 2024 Paper Covers Improved Spread-Spectrum Watermarking of Speech
Background Digital audio watermarking received a great deal of attention in the early 2000s as a means of protecting the intellectual property of digital media in the advent of file-sharing and media streaming. While there were some publications discussing watermarking, the vast majority of research from this period focused on music where copyright protection requirements […]
Pindrop’s ICASSP 2024 paper shows how room acoustics can enhance liveness detection
In a research paper 1co-authored with David Looney to be presented at the International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) in Seoul, South Korea on April 18, 2024, we answer the following question: When does the acoustic environment provide helpful information for presentation attack detection (PAD)? In this blog, we begin by exploring […]
Does Watermarking Protect Against Deepfake Attacks?
Recent leaps in the field of generative AI, in combination with a plethora of available data, has resulted in numerous tools that are able to generate highly convincing audio and video deepfakes. This includes both fully synthetic identities but also synthetic voices and voice cloning. While much work at Pindrop research has gone into developing […]
Real-time Deepfake Detection of Senator Blumenthal’s Remarks at AI Committee
Sen. Blumenthal made his own deepfake. Pindrop caught it. Could you? As AI technology continues to advance, the rise of deepfakes poses a serious threat. These manipulated images, videos, and audios use artificial intelligence to create convincing but false representations of people and events. Unfortunately, deepfakes are often difficult for the average person to […]
