对比不同训练目标对语音伪造检测适配器几何结构的影响。

Meta-learning for domain generalization (MLDG) improves out-of-distribution speech deepfake detection over empirical risk minimization (ERM) when both objectives train low-rank adapters on the same frozen self-supervised speech model. Because the architecture and adapter capacity are held fixed, this gap points to differences in how the training objective shapes the adapter, yet the field characterizes objectives through error rates rather than through the geometry of the solution they reach. We introduce a descriptive diagnostic for this question: holding architecture, rank, data, and seeds fixed and varying only the objective, we use the empirical Fisher on the finished adapter to compare the geometry that ERM and MLDG leave behind. We characterize each adapter with effective-rank diagnostics that separate where the adapter changes from where those changes matter to the loss, resolved by projection and by depth. Applied to ERM and MLDG, the diagnostic shows that the objective does not reshape all adapter projections alike: the loss-relevant update concentrates in the query and key projections while becoming more distributed in the output projection, consistently across six corpora and most strongly in the upper layers. The same contrast appears in the merged update independently of the low-rank factorization, indicating that it reflects the geometry of the effective update rather than the parameterization. These results show that the gap between ERM and MLDG is not only a difference in error rate, but a difference in how loss-relevant capacity is organized inside the adapter, and that loss-aware adapter geometry is a way to see it.
