用量子电路捕捉音频局部时频特征,提升伪造音频检测精度。
Quantum Kernels for Audio Deepfake Detection Using Spectrogram Patch Features

- 设计专用量子编码器,将梅尔谱图局部块映射为低深度量子态。
- 在真实数据上实现0.87的AUROC,优于经典方法的0.82。
- 适合资源受限场景下的音频真伪检测,可解释性强。
量子机器学习在模式识别中展现出潜力,但多数音频方法仍将谱图视为普通图像,未充分利用其时频结构。本文提出Q-Patch,一种针对音频的量子特征映射方法,通过浅层、硬件高效电路与邻接感知纠缠,将梅尔谱图中的局部时频块编码为量子态。每个选中块由紧凑的四维声学描述符表征,并映射至最多三深度的四量子比特电路,支持近中期条件下实用的量子核构建。在受控平衡协议下评估其在音频欺骗检测任务中的表现,结果表明Q-Patch在辨别真实与伪造样本方面优于同规模经典基线。其在相同特征上训练的径向基函数支持向量机(RBF-SVM)AUROC为0.82,而Q-Patch达到0.87。核空间分析显示清晰类别结构:跨类相似度约0.615,类内自相似度达1.00。整体而言,Q-Patch为低资源环境下融合时频感知表示的量子核学习提供了一种可行框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Quantum machine learning has emerged as a promising tool for pattern recognition, yet many audio-focused approaches still treat spectrograms as generic images and do not explicitly exploit their time-frequency structure. We propose Q-Patch, a quantum feature map tailored to audio that encodes local time-frequency patches from mel-spectrograms into quantum states using shallow, hardware-efficient circuits with adjacency-aware entanglement. Each selected patch is summarized by a compact four-dimensional acoustic descriptor and mapped to a four-qubit circuit with depth at most three, enabling practical quantum kernel construction under near-term constraints. We evaluate Q-Patch on an audio spoofing detection task using a controlled, balanced protocol and compare it with size-matched classical baselines. Q-Patch improves discrimination between bona fide and spoofed samples, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.87, compared with 0.82 for a radial basis function support vector machine (RBF-SVM) trained on the same patch-level features. Kernel-space analysis further reveals a clear class structure, with cross-class similarity around 0.615 and within-class self-similarity of 1.00. Overall, Q-Patch provides a practical framework for incorporating time-frequency-aware representations into quantum kernel learning for audio authenticity assessment in low-resource settings.
