Popis: Automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems play a prominent role in the security field due to the usability of voice biometrics compared to alternative biometric authentication modalities. Nevertheless, ASV systems are susceptible to malicious voice spoofing attacks. In response to such threats, countermeasures have been devised to prevent breaches and ensure the safety of user data by categorizing utterances as either genuine or spoofed. In this paper, we propose a new voice spoofing countermeasure that seeks to improve the generalization of supervised learning models. This is accomplished by alleviating the problem of intraclass variance. Specifically, the proposed approach addresses the generalization challenge by splitting the classification problem into a set of local subproblems in order to lessen the supervised learning task. The system outperformed existing state-of-the-art approaches with an EER of 0.097% on the ASVspoof challenge corpora related to replaying spoofing attacks.
