Combining Self-Embedding Audio Watermarking with Ultra-Low-Bitrate Neural Codecs

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 26, 2026 · UTC

Partial manipulation of speech recordings, where only localized segments of an utterance are altered, poses a significant challenge for content integrity verification, as reliable detection and localization of such edits becomes harder as the manipulated proportion decreases. Watermarking offers a proactive defense alternative by embedding auxiliary information prior to distribution; classical hash-based schemes achieve near-perfect detection and localization under ideal conditions, but the original content cannot be recovered once a segment is manipulated. Building on a prior self-embedding a
