# SEA Fake Speech Dataset |
|
The rapid growth of the digital economy in South-East Asia (SEA) |
|
has amplified the risks of audio deepfakes—yet current datasets |
|
cover SEA languages only sparsely, leaving models poorly equipped |
|
to handle this critical region. This omission is critical: detection |
|
models trained on high-resource languages collapse when applied |
|
to SEA, due to mismatches in synthesis quality, language-specific |
|
characteristics, and data scarcity. To close this gap, we present |
|
SEA-Spoof, the first large-scale ADD dataset especially for SEA |
|
languages. SEA-Spoof spans 300+ hours of paired real and spoof |
|
speech across Tamil, Hindi, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, and Viet- |
|
namese. Spoof samples are generated from a diverse mix of state- |
|
of-the-art open-source and commercial systems, capturing wide |
|
variability in style and fidelity. Benchmarking state-of-the-art detec- |
|
tion models reveals severe cross-lingual degradation, but fine-tuning |
|
on SEA-Spoof dramatically restores performance across languages |
|
and synthesis sources. These results highlight the urgent need for |
|
SEA-focused research and establish SEA-Spoof as a foundation |
|
for developing robust, cross-lingual, and fraud-resilient detection |
|
systems. |

## Dataset Summary |
|
This dataset contains multilingual speech data for deepfake detection, |
|
covering 6 Southeast Asian languages (Hindi, Tamil, Thai, Malay, Indonesian, Vietnamese). |
|
It includes synthetic speech from open-source and commercial TTS models, |
|
as well as real human recordings. |
