• Abstract: Audio-visual deepfake detection is an actively studied topic, where one of the main challenges is to develop detectors able to generalize across deepfake generation methods. We conjecture that overfitting can be mitigated by extracting multiple high-level cues from the available audio and visual modalities via pre-trained models. We therefore assemble a wide variety of pre-trained models to extract features that encode mouth movements, face parsing, facial expressions, head pose, gaze tracking, heart rate, audio emotion and speech activity. We further integrate both unimodal and multimodal cues via a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) backbone to detect deepfakes. We perform in-domain and cross-domain experiments on five benchmarks for deepfake detection (MAVOS-DD, AVLips, PolyGlotFake, BioDeepAV, FakeAVCeleb) to compare our framework (DF-MoE) with state-of-the-art methods. Our results indicate that DF-MoE obtains superior deepfake detection results, surpassing all competing methods. We release our code at https://github.com/vladhondru25/DF-MoE.

  In the digital age, the emergence of deepfakes and synthetic media presents a significant threat to societal and political integrity. Deepfakes based on multi-modal manipulation, such as audio-visual, are more realistic and pose a greater threat. We propose a novel multi-modal attention framework based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that leverages contextual information for audio-visual deepfake detection.

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