Only Train Once: Uncertainty-Aware One-Class Learning for Face Authenticity Detection

The paper introduces FADNet, a face authenticity detector that treats forgery detection as a one‑class classification problem, training only on authentic faces. It uses Evidential Deep Learning to measure uncertainty and a pseudo‑forgery generator to sharpen decision boundaries. Experiments on DF40 and ASFD show FADNet surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods with 96.63% accuracy and 98.83% precision.

Swin Meets EfficientNet: Lightweight Architectures for GAN-Based Face Forensics

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.

Deep Learning for Deepfake Image Detection: Comparative Model Evaluation and Gradient-Based Visual Attribution

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.

IMFD: End-to-end Multi-Face Forgery Detection through Instruction-based Large Vision-Language Models

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.
