  • 先诊断后治理,定位偏见源于声学特征差异与性别信息泄露
  • 按性别分别调阈值可降不公平性54%至75%,且不损失准确率
  • 新提出的周期级公平正则化优于传统批处理方法,适合安全场景部署

音频深度伪造检测系统在高风险安全场景中日益应用,但其在不同人口群体间的公平性仍严重缺乏研究。以往工作仅测量性别差异,未深入探究根源或系统性解决。本文提出首个诊断优先框架,识别偏见来源后再实施精准缓解,在AASIST和Wav2Vec2+ResNet18两个模型上于ASVSpoof5数据集验证。诊断发现:偏见并非来自训练数据不平衡,而是声学表征差异、学习特征中的性别泄露以及结构评估不对称。测试了多种缓解策略,包括在处理、后处理及联合类方法,其中引入的新方法表现优异。按性别单独调整决策阈值可使不公平性降低54%至75%,且不影响检测准确率;新提出的周期级公平正则化方法优于现有批次级方法。对抗去偏仅在性别泄露局部时有效,扩散时失败——这一结果被诊断提前预测。单一方法无法完全弥合公平差距,证实必须先识别偏见源再施治,同时公平基准设计同样关键。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Audio deepfake detection systems are increasingly deployed in high-stakes security applications, yet their fairness across demographic groups remains critically underexamined. Prior work measures gender disparity but does not investigate where it comes from or how to fix it systematically. We present the first diagnosis-first framework that identifies bias source before applying targeted mitigation, evaluated on two models, AASIST and Wav2Vec2+ResNet18, on ASVSpoof5. Our diagnosis shows that bias does not stem from imbalanced training data but from acoustic representation differences, gender leakage in learned features, and structural evaluation asymmetry. We test mitigation strategies across in-processing, post-processing and combined families, including novel methods introduced in this work. Adjusting the decision threshold separately per gender reduces unfairness by 54% to 75% at no cost to detection accuracy, and our new epoch-level fairness regularisation method outperforms existing per-batch approaches. Adversarial debiasing succeeds only when gender leakage is localised, and fails when it is diffuse, an outcome correctly predicted by our diagnosis before training. No single method fully closes the fairness gap, confirming that bias sources must be identified before fixes are applied and that fairer benchmark design is equally important
