Abstract

Synthetically-generated audios and videos - so-called deep fakes - continue to capture the imagination of the computer-graphics and computer-vision communities. At the same time, the democratization of access to technology that can create a sophisticated manipulated video of anybody saying anything continues to be of concern because of its power to disrupt democratic elections, commit small to large-scale fraud, fuel disinformation campaigns, and create non-consensual pornography. We describe a biometric-based forensic technique for detecting face-swap deep fakes. This technique combines a static biometric based on facial recognition with a temporal, behavioral biometric based on facial expressions and head movements, where the behavioral embedding is learned using a CNN with a metric-learning objective function. We show the efficacy of this approach across several large-scale video datasets, as well as in-the-wild deep fakes.

  • Existing unimodal deepfake detectors are primarily designed to detect a single type of manipulation, such as visual, acoustic, and text.

    “Existing unimodal deepfake detectors are primarily designed to detect a single type of manipulation, such as visual, acoustic, and text.”

    From Contextual Cross-Modal Attention for Audio-Visual Deepfake Detection and Localization (2024) · cites this paper as [2]

    Section 2.2 (page not provided) describes visual deepfake detectors aimed at particular artifacts or face-swap manipulations, which supports part of the claim. It does not characterize unimodal detectors generally or establish that acoustic and text detectors are primarily designed for a single type of manipulation. (LLM, conf=0.78)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The recent common underlying mechanism for deepfake creation is deep learning models such as autoencoders and generative adversarial networks (GANs).

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.
