• Abstract summary: ProtoExplorer is a Visual Analytics system for exploration and refinement of prototype-based deepfake detection models. It offers tools for visualizing and temporally filtering prototype-based predictions when working with video data. System was designed with forensic experts and evaluated in a number of rounds based on both open-ended think evaluation and interviews.

• Abstract: In high-stakes settings, Machine Learning models that can provide predictions that are interpretable for humans are crucial. This is even more true with the advent of complex deep learning based models with a huge number of tunable parameters. Recently, prototype-based methods have emerged as a promising approach to make deep learning interpretable. We particularly focus on the analysis of deepfake videos in a forensics context. Although prototype-based methods have been introduced for the detection of deepfake videos, their use in real-world scenarios still presents major challenges, in that prototypes tend to be overly similar and interpretability varies between prototypes. This paper proposes a Visual Analytics process model for prototype learning, and, based on this, presents ProtoExplorer, a Visual Analytics system for the exploration and refinement of prototype-based deepfake detection models. ProtoExplorer offers tools for visualizing and temporally filtering prototype-based predictions when working with video data. It disentangles the complexity of working with spatio-temporal prototypes, facilitating their visualization. It further enables the refinement of models by interactively deleting and replacing prototypes with the aim to achieve more interpretable and less biased predictions while preserving detection accuracy. The system was designed with forensic experts and evaluated in a number of rounds based on both open-ended think aloud evaluation and interviews. These sessions have confirmed the strength of our prototype based exploration of deepfake videos while they provided the feedback needed to continuously improve the system.

  Prototypical part learning is emerging as a promising approach for making semantic segmentation interpretable. We propose a method for interpretable semantic segmentation that leverages multi-scale image representation for prototypical part learning. Experiments conducted on Pascal VOC, Cityscapes, and ADE20K demonstrate that the proposed method increases model sparsity, improves interpretability over existing prototype-based methods, and narrows the performance gap with the non-interpretable counterpart models.

  deepfake generation is a new paradigm of deepfakes which are mostly real videos altered slightly to distort the truth. In this paper, we present a deepfake detection method that can address this issue by performing deepfake prediction at the frame and video levels. In particular, the paradigm we address will form a powerful tool for the moderation of deepfakes, where human oversight can be better targeted to the parts of videos suspected of being deepfakes.
