Resumo


A geração de fala sintética tornou-se acessível o suficiente para viabilizar fraudes e desinformação, intensificando a necessidade de detectores robustos de deepfake de áudio. Este artigo apresenta uma revisão conduzida segundo o protocolo PRISMA 2020 sobre as limitações de generalização cross-dataset em detectores de deepfake de áudio e voz, com 37 estudos incluídos. Os estudos que decompõem a queda de desempenho atribuem-na sobretudo à diferença de distribuição entre corpora, e não à dificuldade intrínseca do alvo: a Taxa de Erro de Igualdade (in-domain) próxima de 1% degrada para 27%–34% em conjuntos out-of-distribution. Os front-ends auto-supervisionados e a diversificação de dados são as estratégias mais consistentemente associadas a ganhos entre os estudos incluídos, embora nenhuma resolva o gargalo isoladamente. Mostra-se ainda que a comparabilidade é comprometida por inconsistências de protocolos e métricas, e propõe-se uma agenda para protocolos cross-corpus padronizados.
