A lightweight raw-waveform CNN for audio anti-spoofing (voice-deepfake detection),
proposed in *"RawTFNet: A Lightweight CNN Architecture for Speech Anti-spoofing"*
(Xiao, Dang & Das, 2025). The model takes a raw speech waveform and returns a score
where **higher = more bona fide**.

- **Code:** https://github.com/swagshaw/RawTFNet-Pytorch
- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.08227
- **Parameters:** 177,540 (0.178 M)
- **Checkpoint:** [`Best_RawTFNet_32.pth`](./Best_RawTFNet_32.pth)

This repo is self-contained for inference: the network definition is in
[`_net.py`](./_net.py), and the exact wrapper used to produce the Arena scores is in
[`rawtfnet.py`](./rawtfnet.py).

## Architecture

RawTFNet operates directly on the raw waveform:

1. **Sinc-convolution front-end** (`SincConv`, AASIST-style) — fixed band-pass
   filters that turn the waveform into a time–frequency representation, followed by a
   ResNet-style block and three **depthwise-separable Res2Net-SE** blocks
   (`DWS_Frontend_SE`).
2. **Tf-SepNet classifier** (`TfSepNet`, depth=10, width=32) — stacked
   **time–frequency separable** convolution blocks with channel shuffle and adaptive
   residual normalization, ending in a 1×1 conv to 2 classes pooled over time and
   frequency.
3. The 2-logit output is read at **index 1 = bona fide**.

## How it was trained

- **Data:** ASVspoof 2019 **Logical Access (LA)**, with RawBoost data augmentation.
- **Input length:** raw audio at 16 kHz cropped/padded to 64,600 samples (~4.04 s).
- **Output:** 2-class logits; the bona-fide logit (index 1) is the score.

See the [source repository](https://github.com/swagshaw/RawTFNet-Pytorch) for the
full training and evaluation code.

## Benchmark result (Speech Anti-Spoofing Arena)

Evaluated through the reproducible [Speech Anti-Spoofing Arena](https://huggingface.co/spaces/SpeechAntiSpoofingBenchmarks/SpeechAntiSpoofingArena?system=rawtfnet).
Scores were computed with a **deterministic first-64,600-sample window** (no random
crop), so the numbers are exactly reproducible from the pinned score file.

| Dataset | Split | EER % | Trials | Skipped | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASVspoof2019_LA | test | **1.99** | 71,237 | 0 | in-domain (training data) |
| ASVspoof2021_LA | test | **8.03** | 181,566 | 0 | cross-dataset generalization |
| ASVspoof2021_DF | test | **15.16** | 611,829 | 0 | cross-dataset generalization |
| InTheWild | test | **38.51** | 31,779 | 0 | out-of-domain (real-world deepfakes) |
| CD-ADD | test | **52.85** | 20,786 | 0 | out-of-domain (modern neural-TTS); does not generalize |

The model trains only on ASVspoof2019 LA, so the in-domain EER is low (1.99 %) while
the cross-dataset / out-of-domain sets measure generalization to newer, unseen
attacks. RawTFNet generalizes notably better than the reference TCN/capsule models on
ASVspoof2021_LA, ASVspoof2021_DF, and InTheWild.

## Usage

The checkpoint is a `state_dict` for the `RawTFNet` network defined in
[`_net.py`](./_net.py). The input **must** be exactly 64,600 samples at 16 kHz mono —
window the waveform with `pad_fixed` (first 64,600 samples, tile-repeat if shorter).

```python
import numpy as np
from rawtfnet import RawTFNetModel   # _net.py + rawtfnet.py are in this repo

m = RawTFNetModel()
m.load()                                          # loads Best_RawTFNet_32.pth
audio = np.random.randn(48000).astype(np.float32) # float32 mono 16 kHz
print(m.score_batch([audio], [16000])[0])         # higher = more bona fide
m.unload()
```

Internally the wrapper windows the input, runs the network, and returns
`logits[:, 1]` (class 1 = bona fide). [`rawtfnet.py`](./rawtfnet.py) is the exact
`speech_spoof_bench` model that produced the Arena `scores.txt`.
