Protecting Celebrities from DeepFake with Identity Consistency Transformer
Open accessAbstract
In this work we propose Identity Consistency Transformer, a novel face forgery detection method that focuses on high-level semantics, specifically identity information, and detecting a suspect face by finding identity inconsistency in inner and outer face regions. The Identity Consistency Transformer incorporates a consistency loss for identity consistency determination. We show that Identity Consistency Transformer exhibits superior generalization ability not only across different datasets but also across various types of image degradation forms found in real-world applications including deepfake videos. The Identity Consistency Transformer can be easily enhanced with additional identity information when such information is available, and for this reason it is especially well-suited for detecting face forgeries involving celebrities.11Code will be released at https://github.com/LightDXY/ICT_DeepFake

Characterizing pristine faces based on semantic features such as soft biometrics is particularly effective for POI-based detection.
“This approach turns out to be particularly effective if the characterization of pristine faces is based on semantic features, such as soft biometrics, leading to Person-of-Interest (POI) based detection [3,5-7,12,20].”
From Audio-Visual Person-of-Interest DeepFake Detection (2023) · cites this paper as [20]
The Introduction and §3.2 describe using high-level identity information from authentic celebrity face images to improve reference-assisted forgery detection. The paper does not characterize those features as soft biometrics; its method extracts inner- and outer-face identity vectors and tests their consistency. Thus it supports the semantic, identity-based detection point, but not the specific soft-biometrics example. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
