Bachelor's Thesis

Does Reality Matter? A Reality-Aware Audio SceneFake Dataset

Built a 15.42-hour reality-aware SceneFake audio dataset across 9 acoustic scenes, recorded under natural conditions with diverse speakers and environments. Demonstrates that existing deepfake detection models fail to generalize to realistic conditions, highlighting the need for real-world data.
