GROOT introduces a generative robust audio watermarking method for diffusion-model-based audio synthesis, embedding watermarks directly during content generation. This technique maintains high audio fidelity and extraction accuracy, achieving over 90% accuracy against complex compound attacks, which exceeds the robustness of existing audio watermarking approaches.

Key insights

  • Directly manipulating the diffusion model's latent space with an encoded watermark allows for robust embedding during generation, moving beyond reactive detection.
  • The decoder's architecture, specifically employing Modified Gated Convolutional Neural Networks (MGCNNs), is crucial for achieving high watermark extraction accuracy.
  • Fixing the pre-trained diffusion model parameters allows for a 'plug-and-play' solution, enabling easy integration without extensive model retraining while preserving generative quality.
