Stop My Dancing! Understanding, Detecting and Attributing Motion-Aware Deepfake Videos

The paper introduces Motion‑Aware Deepfake (MAD) videos, a new class of deepfakes generated by pose‑guided diffusion models that can animate entire human figures. To study this threat, the authors build the first MAD‑specific benchmark with 1.5 million frames from 1,363 real and 30,122 synthetic videos, and analyze the subtle high‑frequency artifacts and spectral fingerprints that arise from limited input frames. Leveraging these insights, they propose MoDA, a defense framework that combines spatial semantics with steganalysis‑rich frequency features, achieving high detection and attribution accuracy across in‑distribution, cross‑dataset, and zero‑shot scenarios, and demonstrating robustness against adaptive attacks.

Interpretable Deepfake Detection in Videos via Explicit Forensic Features and Temporal Modeling

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.

ManiVid: Unified and Explainable Forensic Analysis of Manipulated Videos

ManiVid introduces a unified forensic analysis framework for manipulated videos, combining forgery detection, artifact grounding, and anomaly explanation. The authors release ManiVid-38K, a large dataset of 19K real‑fake video pairs with authenticity labels, forgery masks, and explanations, and a benchmark ManiVidBench with 1K balanced pairs. ManiVidLens, the proposed model, outperforms existing methods in artifact grounding and anomaly explanation while matching state‑of‑the‑art detection accuracy.

Dataset Biases and Shortcut Learning in Motion-Based AI-Generated Video Detection

The paper examines four leading motion‑based AI‑generated video detectors and finds that three of them suffer from preprocessing and sampling biases that inflate their reported performance. These detectors rely heavily on motion patterns—specifically, the lower inter‑frame movement typical of synthetic videos—so their accuracy drops to near random when tested on datasets lacking this bias or after simple spatial augmentations. In contrast, a frequency‑based detector remains robust across all datasets, indicating that frequency‑domain methods may generalize better for detecting AI‑generated videos.

Unifying Semantic Priors and High-Frequency Traces: Enhancing V-JEPA with Mixture-of-Experts for Robust Synthetic Image Forensics

The paper introduces MoE-JEPA, a dual‑stream deepfake detection model that combines a V‑JEPA backbone with a Residual Mixture‑of‑Experts mechanism and a noise stream branch. It further incorporates a Gated Attention Multiple Instance Learning module to refine spatial semantic understanding. On the SID‑Set benchmark, MoE‑JEPA achieves a new state‑of‑the‑art accuracy of 95.54%, outperforming much larger models.

What Do Interaction Representations Actually Measure? Pre-Event Separability in Weakly-Supervised Violence Detection

The paper investigates whether detailed articulated human pose provides more discriminative power than coarse spatial relationships for early violence detection. By fixing the downstream pipeline and comparing five interaction representations—including bounding‑box geometry, handcrafted pose analogues, enriched pose descriptors, and a learned joint encoder—the study finds that pose‑based representations do not outperform coarse geometry. When visual encoders are frozen and evaluated on larger datasets, person‑crop appearance and whole‑frame context outperform geometry, but cropping to interacting people offers no advantage over encoding the entire frame. The authors further demonstrate that pre‑onset frames contain source‑related artifacts (e.g., title cards, watermarks) that contribute significantly to discrimination, suggesting that benchmark performance may reflect these artifacts rather than true event evidence.
