We develop deep learning-based classifiers for Audio Event Detection (AED), attacking them next with some white noise disturbances.
We show that an attacker can use such simple disturbances to potentially fully avoid detection by AED systems. Prior work has shown
that attackers can mislead image classification tasks, however this
work focuses on attacks against AED systems, by tampering the
audio and not image. This work brings awareness to the designers
and manufacturers of AED systems and devices, as these solutions
are becoming more ubiquitous by the day.
