Pengcheng Li, Xulong Zhang, Jing Xiao, Jianzong Wang

The IDEAW model presents a neural audio watermarking technique utilizing an invertible dual-embedding strategy to improve watermark localization efficiency and a balance block to maintain INN symmetry during adversarial training. It achieves high imperceptibility and robustness, demonstrating up to 50% faster watermark locating compared to previous methods.

Key insights

  • Separating the embedding of a lightweight locating code from the main message significantly improves watermark localization efficiency by enabling a rapid pre-check.
  • A "balance block" can effectively address the challenge of maintaining Invertible Neural Network (INN) symmetry and stability when an attack layer is present, enhancing robustness.
  • Adversarial training with a discriminator is crucial for ensuring the perceptual indistinguishability of watermarked audio from original audio.
