arXiv:2606. 30528v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current generative models, including GANs and diffusion models, have reached an outstanding level of photorealism, posing significant risks to privacy and security.
Spectra is a deepfake detection framework that uses implicit neural representations (INRs) to analyze how an image is reconstructed, producing multi-level reconstruction heatmaps. These heatmaps are fused with semantic visual features via a bidirectional mechanism, enabling the model to detect forgery cues that are less tied to specific generation pipelines. Experiments on several deepfake benchmarks show that Spectra outperforms detectors relying only on RGB appearance or semantic representations, and it also extends to face presentation attack detection.

RLDF (Region-Level Deepfake) is the first dataset designed to evaluate deepfake detection on partial facial manipulations. It contains over 2 million partial face‑swap images generated with eight face‑swapping methods across seven facial regions, including both discrete (eye, nose, mouth, eyebrow) and composite regions. The authors benchmark 12 state‑of‑the‑art detectors on five cross‑dataset protocols, revealing a 10.5 % drop in AUC and 10 % drop in accuracy for region‑level detection, and propose a mask‑guided cross‑attention model as a baseline.
The paper presents lightweight architectures for detecting GAN-generated synthetic faces, comparing a compact Swin Transformer, pre‑trained Swin‑Tiny and Swin‑Small models, and a hybrid EfficientNet‑B0 + Swin Transformer. Using the 140K Real and Fake Faces dataset, the hybrid model achieved 99% accuracy and 99.44% recall on 5,000 test images, outperforming both pure Swin variants and a CNN‑only baseline. The study demonstrates that combining hierarchical CNN features with shifted‑window self‑attention yields an efficient, computationally lightweight detection method.

This paper presents an interpretable deepfake detection framework that explicitly encodes physically grounded forensic cues to analyze spatially and temporally coherent facial features in video sequences. The method transforms videos into identity-consistent facial trajectories, segments them into fixed-length temporal windows, and represents each frame with 68 structured descriptors across photometric, textural, geometric, and compression domains. These descriptors are processed by an LSTM to capture temporal dependencies, achieving strong F1-scores on four benchmark datasets and demonstrating robust cross-dataset generalization.
