A study on the role of subsidiary information in replay attack spoofing detection

In this study, we analyze the role of various categories of subsidiary information in conducting replay attack spoofing detection: `Room Size', `Reverberation', `Speaker-to-ASV distance, `Attacker-to-Speaker distance', and `Replay Device Quality'. As a means of analyzing subsidiary information, we use two frameworks to either subtract or include a category of subsidiary information to the code extracted from a deep neural network. For subtraction, we utilize an adversarial process framework which makes the code orthogonal to the basis vectors of the subsidiary information. For addition, we utilize the multi-task learning framework to include subsidiary information to the code. All experiments are conducted using the ASVspoof 2019 physical access scenario with the provided meta data. Through the analysis of the result of the two approaches, we conclude that various categories of subsidiary information does not reside enough in the code when the deep neural network is trained for binary classification. Explicitly including various categories of subsidiary information through the multi-task learning framework can help improve performance in closed set condition.
