RawNet2 — Clean-Domain Anti-Spoofing Specialist (LA)

This repository contains a fine-tuned :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} checkpoint optimized for clean-domain anti-spoofing environments.

The model was trained primarily on the :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} benchmark and serves as one of the parent specialists used in the :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} project.

Intended Use

This checkpoint is intended for:

• audio anti-spoofing research
• clean-domain deepfake detection
• genetic weight merging research
• transfer learning
• robustness comparison studies

It is NOT optimized for:

• noisy environments
• social-media-distributed audio
• codec-heavy in-the-wild conditions

For robustness-oriented conditions, see:

Usage

Load Checkpoint

import torch
from model import RawNet

model = RawNet()

checkpoint = torch.load(
    "best_model.pth",
    map_location="cpu"
)

model.load_state_dict(checkpoint)
model.eval()

Relationship to MeGA-IA

This model serves as the:

Clean-domain specialist parent model

inside the MeGA-IA genetic weight merging framework.

Its role is to preserve:

• clean acoustic priors
• studio-quality spoof discrimination
• low-noise spectral sensitivity

while complementary ITW-specialized models contribute robustness features.

---

Limitations

• Limited robustness to social media artifacts
• Performance degradation under heavy compression
• Reduced generalization to unseen in-the-wild distributions
