Özet

One of the most pressing challenges in audio forgery detection—a major topic of signal analysis and digital forensics research—is detecting copy-move forgery in audio data. Because audio data are used in numerous sectors, including security, but increasingly tampered with and manipulated, studies dedicated to detecting forgery and verifying voice data have intensified in recent years. In our study, 2189 fake audio files were produced from 2189 audio recordings on the TIMIT corpus, for a total of 4378 audio files. After the 4378 files were preprocessed to detect silent and unsilent regions in the signals, a Mel-frequency-based hybrid feature data set was obtained from the 4378 files. Next, RNN and LSTM deep learning models were applied to detect audio forgery in the data set in four experimental setups—two with RNN and two with LSTM—using the AdaGrad and AdaDelta optimizer algorithms to identify the optimum solution in the unlinear systems and minimize the loss rate. When the experimental results were compared, the accuracy rate of detecting forgery in the hybrid feature data was 76.03%, and the hybrid model, in which the features are used together, demonstrated high accuracy even with small batch sizes. This article thus reports the first-ever use of RNN and LSTM deep learning models to detect audio copy-move forgery. Moreover, because the proposed method does not require adjusting threshold values, the resulting system is more robust than other systems described in the literature.
