xxuan-speech/MCL-MLAAD

Introduction

MCL-MLAAD is the first multilingual benchmark for speech deepfake source tracing. It spans mono- and cross-lingual protocols, includes DSP and SSL baselines, studies language-specific fine-tuning for cross-lingual generalization, and tests robustness to unseen languages/speakers. See arXiv:2508.04143.
