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.

The paper presents an explainable deep‑learning workflow for detecting deepfake images, comparing a compact convolutional model trained from scratch with a fine‑tuned ImageNet‑pretrained MobileNetV2 model. Using a balanced dataset of 140,000 real and fake faces, the pretrained model achieved 95.90% accuracy, outperforming the from‑scratch model’s 84.15% accuracy. Gradient‑weighted class activation mapping (Grad‑CAM) was employed to highlight image regions influencing predictions, and a Flask prototype was built for side‑by‑side inspection.

The paper introduces IMFD, an end‑to‑end multi‑face forgery detector that uses instruction‑based Large Vision‑Language Models (LVLMs). IMFD jointly localizes faces and predicts forgery labels in a single stage, explicitly incorporating predicted face bounding boxes into the textual instruction to improve grounding and detection. Experiments on converted multi‑face forgery datasets show that IMFD outperforms several state‑of‑the‑art methods.
