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.
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.
arXiv:2607. 28936v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Facial biometric identification relies on the distinctiveness of user attributes within a high-dimensional embedding space.
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.
arXiv:2608. 06865v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The malicious use of generative artificial intelligence to create highly realistic deepfake videos raises serious ethical concerns and poses substantial challenges to AI safety.
The paper introduces DDL, a large-scale dataset for deepfake detection and localization, comprising over 1.4 million forged samples generated by 80 distinct deepfake methods. It features comprehensive coverage of generation architectures, varied manipulation modes, diverse scenarios and modalities, and provides fine-grained spatial masks and temporal segments for each forgery. These enhancements aim to offer a more challenging benchmark and support the development of next-generation deepfake detection, localization, and interpretability methods.
