A Comparison of SSL-Based Feature Extractors and Back-End Classifiers for Spoofing Detection: A Multi-Corpus Training and Cross-Linguistic Analysis

arXiv:2606.08669v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Voice biometric systems face growing threats from spoofing attacks, yet the evaluation of detection models remains inconsistent across datasets. To investigate these unpredictable fluctuations, we conduct a comprehensive benchmark of four self-supervised learning feature extractors paired with four back-end classifiers. We compare the hierarchical local feature extraction of ResNet with the global sequence and relational modeling of attention and graph-based back-ends. Through multi-corpus training across three scenarios and six evaluation data
