Dimensionality-Aware Anomaly Detection in Learned Representations of Self-Supervised Speech Models
Self-supervised speech models (S3Ms) achieve strong downstream performance, yet their learned representations remain poorly understood under natural and adversarial perturbations. Prior studies rely on representation similarity or global dimensionality, offering limited visibility into local geometric changes. We ask: how do perturbations deform local geometry, and do these shifts track downstream automatic speech recognition (ASR) degradation? To address this, we present GRIDS, a framework using Local Intrinsic Dimensionality (LID) across layer-wise representations in WavLM and wav2vec 2.0. We find that LID increases for all low signal-to noise ratio (SNR) perturbations and diverges at h...
