Replay spoofing detection for automatic speaker verification system

Abstract:

Described herein are a system and techniques for detecting whether biometric data provided in an access request is genuine or a replay. In some embodiments, the system uses an machine learning model trained using genuine and replay sample data which is optimized in order to produce a result set in which results for the genuine samples are pulled closer to a genuine center and results for the replay samples are pushed away from the genuine center. Subjecting input biometric data (e.g., an audio sample) to the trained model results in a classification of the input biometric data as genuine or replay, which can then be used to determine whether or not to verify the input biometric data.
