Beyond [CLS] Token: Query-Driven Token-Level Forgery Purification for Generalizable Deepfake Detection
We investigate state-of-the-art deepfake detectors that leverage ViT-based vision foundation models and discover that the [CLS] token suffers from the Pre-trained Information Bias (PIB), i.e., it tends to mainly focus on global semantics due to the knowledge dominated by pre-trained model parameters
