• Abstract: Deepfakes, leveraging advanced AIGC (Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content) techniques, create hyper-realistic synthetic images and videos of human faces, posing a significant threat to the authenticity of social media. While this real-world threat is increasingly prevalent, existing academic evaluations and benchmarks for detecting deepfake forgery often fall short to achieve effective application for their lack of specificity, limited deepfake diversity, restricted manipulation techniques.To address these limitations, we introduce RedFace (Real-world-oriented Deepfake Face), a specialized facial deepfake dataset, comprising over 60,000 forged images and 1,000 manipulated videos derived from authentic facial features, to bridge the gap between academic evaluations and real-world necessity. Unlike prior benchmarks, which typically rely on academic methods to generate deepfakes, RedFace utilizes 9 commercial online platforms to integrate the latest deepfake technologies found "in the wild", effectively simulating real-world black-box scenarios.Moreover, RedFace's deepfakes are synthesized using bespoke algorithms, allowing it to capture diverse and evolving methods used by real-world deepfake creators. Extensive experimental results on RedFace (including cross-domain, intra-domain, and real-world social network dissemination simulations) verify the limited practicality of existing deepfake detection schemes against real-world applications. We further perform a detailed analysis of the RedFace dataset, elucidating the reason of its impact on detection performance compared to conventional datasets. Our dataset is available at: https://github.com/kikyou-220/RedFace.

  Deepfakes of victims or public figures can be used by fraudsters for blackmailing, extorsion and financial fraud. In our research we propose to use geometric-fakeness features (GFF) that characterize a dynamic degree of a face presence in a video. We employ our approach to analyze videos with multiple faces that are simultaneously present in a video.

  The emergence of deepfake technologies has become a matter of social concern as they pose threats to individual privacy and public security. It is almost impossible to collect sufficient representative fake faces, and it is hard for existing detectors to generalize to all types of manipulation. We propose Real Face Foundation Representation Learning (RFFR), which aims to learn a general representation from large-scale real face datasets.
