==DETECTING SYNTHETIC SPEECH - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240379112 titled 'DETECTING SYNTHETIC SPEECH

The disclosure outlines methods for detecting synthetic speech in an audio clip using a machine learning system.

* The computing system includes processing circuitry and memory for executing the machine learning system.
* The machine learning system processes the audio clip to generate speech artifact embeddings based on synthetic speech artifact features.
* It computes scores based on the speech artifact embeddings to determine if frames of the audio clip contain synthetic speech.
* The system outputs an indication of whether synthetic speech is present in the audio clip.

**Key Features and Innovation:**

* Utilizes machine learning to detect synthetic speech in audio clips.
* Analyzes speech artifact embeddings to identify synthetic speech features.
* Provides an indication of the presence of synthetic speech in the audio clip.

**Potential Applications:**

* Enhancing security measures by detecting synthetic speech in audio recordings.
* Improving the accuracy of speech recognition systems by filtering out synthetic speech.
* Assisting in content moderation by identifying artificially generated speech in media files.

**Problems Solved:**

* Addressing the challenge of identifying synthetic speech in audio clips.
* Enhancing the reliability of audio analysis tools by detecting synthetic speech artifacts.
* Improving the overall quality of audio content by filtering out synthetic speech.

**Benefits:**

==Original Abstract Submitted==

in general, the disclosure describes techniques for detecting synthetic speech in an audio clip. in an example, a computing system may include processing circuitry and memory for executing a machine learning system. the machine learning system may be configured to process an audio clip to generate a plurality of speech artifact embeddings based on a plurality of synthetic speech artifact features. the machine learning system may further be configured to compute one or more scores based on the plurality of speech artifact embeddings. the machine learning system may further be configured to determine, based on the one or more scores, whether one or more frames of the audio clip include synthetic speech. the machine learning system may further be configured to output an indication of whether the one or more frames of the audio clip include synthetic speech.
