arXiv:2607. 21776v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Talking-face (TF) deepfake generation synthesizes photore- alistic facial video from a static source image and an au- dio signal, producing forgeries that current image-based detectors consistently fail to identify.

FairReL is a fairness‑aware representation‑learning framework for deepfake detection that targets two subgroup‑sensitive components: multi‑scale spatial features and fine‑tuning‑induced residual features. It uses an SVD‑decomposed backbone to isolate residuals and introduces Group‑Conditional Wavelet Decorrelation (GCWD) and Subspace‑Localised Mean Alignment (SLMA) losses to suppress subgroup imbalance and align subgroup means. Experiments on FF++, Celeb‑DF, DFD, and DFDC show that FairReL improves unseen‑dataset AUC by 3.9% and reduces subgroup FPR disparity by 10.2% compared to the state‑of‑the‑art fairness‑aware detector.

The paper introduces AdaGate-DF, an adaptive gated deepfake detection framework designed for low-resolution and resource-constrained environments. By leveraging image-quality cues, the system routes samples through a dual multi-exit architecture, allowing high-quality images to exit earlier and reduce computational load. Evaluations on Celeb-DF and FaceForensics++ show that AdaGate-DF outperforms existing models such as MaD-CoRN and DefakeHop++ while maintaining low inference latency and robust performance across varying resolutions and class imbalance scenarios.
