Open-Set Source Tracing as Compositional Factors via Structured Prototypes

Recent research expands beyond binary anti-spoofing with the emergence of Source Tracing, the task of identifying the specific generative origins of synthetic speech. However, current research often equates a"source"with its generative architecture. We propose redefining a source as a compositional tuple of Architecture, Training Data, and other training factors affecting the generated speech. We propose a framework using Structured Orthonormal Prototypes to minimize class overlap and intra-class variance. Our Subspace Partitioning strategy splits the embedding into architecture and data subspaces, while a residual subspace captures stochastic variability, enabling"compositional generalization"for novel factor combinations. This approach improves performance for partially seen sources and maintains robustness in fully open-set scenarios. MLAAD evaluations for Few-Shot open-set Identification show our approach significantly outperforms angular-margin baselines.
