A Sanity Check for Multi-In-Domain Face Forgery Detection in the Real World

CVPR 2026

Existing methods for deepfake detection aim to develop generalizable detectors. Although "generalizable" could be the ultimate target once and for all, with limited training forgeries and domains, it appears idealistic to expect generalization that covers entirely unseen variations, especially given

Divide and Conquer: Reliable Multi-View Evidential Learning for Deepfake Detection

ICML 2026poster

With the evolution of generative models, deepfakes have achieved near-perfect semantic realism, leaving forensic traces only in subtle structural anomalies. However, existing single-view paradigms often fail to generalize, as dominant semantic features overwhelm subtle artifact cues within entangled…

Do Less, Achieve More: Do We Need Every-Step Optimization for RL Fine-tuning of Diffusion Models?

CVPR 2026

Diffusion models have achieved outstanding success in image generation, yet their objectives are often limited to reconstruction, making it difficult to align with human preferences directly. Reinforcement learning (RL) offers a promising approach to address this by optimizing models using explicit

Reexamining the Exploration–Exploitation Dilemma from an Entropy-Driven Perspective

IJCAI 2026

Achieving an optimal balance between exploration and exploitation remains a fundamental challenge in reinforcement learning. This work revisits the exploration-exploitation dilemma through the lens of entropy, offering a novel perspective on this enduring problem. It establishes a theoretical connec

Tutor-Student Reinforcement Learning: A Dynamic Curriculum for Robust Deepfake Detection

CVPR 2026

Standard supervised training for deepfake detection treats all samples with uniform importance, which can be suboptimal for learning robust and generalizable features. In this work, we propose a novel Tutor-Student Reinforcement Learning (TSRL) framework to dynamically optimize the training curricul

Entropy-Adaptive Diffusion Policy Optimization with Dynamic Step Alignment

ICCV 2025poster

While fine-tuning diffusion models with reinforcement learning (RL) has demonstrated effectiveness in directly optimizing downstream objectives, existing RL frameworks are prone to overfitting the rewards, leading to outputs that deviate from the true data distribution and exhibit reduced diversity.…

Generalization-Preserved Learning: Closing the Backdoor to Catastrophic Forgetting in Continual Deepfake Detection

ICCV 2025poster

Existing continual deepfake detection methods typically treat stability (retaining previously learned forgery knowl- edge) and plasticity (adapting to novel forgeries) as con- flicting properties, emphasizing an inherent trade-off be- tween them, while regarding generalization to unseen forg- eries…

Stacking Brick by Brick: Aligned Feature Isolation for Incremental Face Forgery Detection

CVPR 2025poster

The rapid advancement of face forgery techniques has introduced a growing variety of forgeries.Incremental Face Forgery Detection (IFFD), involvinggradually adding new forgery data to fine-tune the previously trained model, has been introduced as a promising strategy to deal with evolving forgery me…

Can We Leave Deepfake Data Behind in Training Deepfake Detector?

NeurIPS 2024poster

The generalization ability of deepfake detectors is vital for their applications in real-world scenarios. One effective solution to enhance this ability is to train the models with manually-blended data, which we termed ''blendfake'', encouraging models to learn generic forgery artifacts like blendi…
