Specifically, we propose methods to deal with channel variability, different audio compressions, different band-widths, and unseen spoofing attacks, which have all been shown to significantly degrade the performance of audio-based systems and Anti-Spoofing systems. Our results are based on the ASVspoof 2021 challenge, in the Logical Access (LA) and Deep Fake (DF) categories. Our study is Data-Centric, meaning that the models are fixed and we significantly improve the results by making changes in the data. We introduce two forms of data augmentation - compression augmentation for the DF part, compression & channel augmentation for the LA part. In addition, a new type of online data augmentation, SpecAverage, is introduced in which the audio features are masked with their average value in order to improve generalization. Furthermore, we introduce a Log spectrogram feature design that improved the results. Our best single system and fusion scheme both achieve state-of-the-art performance in the DF category, with an EER of 15.46% and 14.46% respectively. Our best system for the LA task reduced the best baseline EER by 50% and the min t-DCF by 16%. Our techniques to deal with spoofed data from a wide variety of distributions can be replicated and can help anti-spoofing and speech-based systems enhance their results.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.10491v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.10491v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-study-on-data-augmentation-in-voice-anti","repo_url":"https://github.com/InbalRim/A-Study-On-Data-Augmentation-In-Voice-Anti-Spoofing","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
