Explainable Deepfake Detection with Feature-robust Augmentation and Evidence-grounded Explanation Optimization proposes a new framework that improves deepfake detection and interpretability. The approach introduces Feature-robust Augmentation—diversified degradation-aware strategies combined with supervised contrastive learning and a mean-teacher architecture—to maintain accuracy on low-quality images. For explanations, it employs evidence-grounded preference optimization, guiding the model to focus on genuine manipulation traces by learning from chosen-rejected explanation pairs that omit evidence or inject irrelevant details. The method achieved first place in the ACM Multimedia 2026 Explainable Deepfake Detection Challenge and is publicly available on GitHub.

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.

Recent advances in video generation models have significantly intensified the deepfake threat, yet the current deepfake video detection benchmarks remain underdeveloped. In particular, the effectiveness of image-level detectors in the video domain has not been systematically assessed.
