• Abstract: The rapid evolvement of deepfake creation technologies is seriously threating media information trustworthiness. The consequences impacting targeted individuals and institutions can be dire. In this work, we study the evolutions of deep learning architectures, particularly CNNs and Transformers. We identified eight promising deep learning architectures, designed and developed our deepfake detection models and conducted experiments over well-established deepfake datasets. These datasets included the latest second and third generation deepfake datasets. We evaluated the effectiveness of our developed single model detectors in deepfake detection and cross datasets evaluations. We achieved 88.74%, 99.53%, 97.68%, 99.73% and 92.02% accuracy and 99.95%, 100%, 99.88%, 99.99% and 97.61% AUC, in the detection of FF++ 2020, Google DFD, Celeb-DF, Deeper Forensics and DFDC deepfakes, respectively. We also identified and showed the unique strengths of CNNs and Transformers models and analysed the observed relationships among the different deepfake datasets, to aid future developments in this area.

We construct a highly diverse deepfake detection dataset called DF40, which comprises 40 distinct deepfake techniques.

  We propose a Deep Information Decomposition (DID) framework to enhance the performance of Cross-dataset Deepfake Detection (CrossDF) Unlike most existing deepfake detection methods, our framework prioritizes high-level semantic features over specific visual artifacts. It adaptively decomposes facial features into deepfake-related and irrelevant information, only using the intrinsic deepfake-related information for real/fake discrimination.
