Can DeepFake Speech be Reliably Detected?
Recent advances in text-to-speech (TTS) systems, particularly those with voice cloning capabilities, have made voice impersonation readily accessible, raising ethical and legal concerns due to potential misuse for malicious activities like misinformation campaigns and fraud.

Thus far, end-to-end (E2E) models have not been shown to outperform state-of-the-art conventional models with respect to both quality, i. e., word error rate (WER), and latency, i. e., the time the hypothesis is finalized after the user stops speaking.

From Audio to Semantics: Approaches to end-to-end spoken language understanding
Conventional spoken language understanding systems consist of two main components: an automatic speech recognition module that converts audio to a transcript, and a natural language understanding module that transforms the resulting text (or top N hypotheses) into a set of domains, intents, and arguments.
