The model consists of a Y-shaped auto-encoder and represents images in two separate latent spaces. The first captures meaningful image semantics, which are key for representing (normal) training data, whereas the second encodes low-level residual image characteristics. To ensure the dual representations encode mutually exclusive information, a disentanglement procedure is designed around a latent (proxy) classifier. Additionally, a novel representation-consistency mechanism is proposed to prevent information leakage between the latent spaces. The model is trained in a one-class learning setting using only normal training data. Due to the separation of semantically-relevant and residual information, Y-GAN is able to derive informative data representations that allow for efficacious anomaly detection across a diverse set of anomaly detection tasks. The model is evaluated in comprehensive experiments with several recent anomaly detection models using four popular image datasets, i.e., MNIST, FMNIST, CIFAR10, and PlantVillage. Experimental results show that Y-GAN outperforms all tested models by a considerable margin and yields state-of-the-art results. The source code for the model is made publicly available at https://github.com/MIvanovska/Y-GAN. |

However, when these detectors are applied to images produced with unknown deepfake-generation techniques, considerable performance degradations are commonly observed. In this paper, we propose a novel deepfake detector, called SeeABLE, that formalizes the detection problem as a (one-class) out-of-distribution detection task and generalizes better to unseen deepfakes. Specifically, SeeABLE first generates local image perturbations (referred to as soft-discrepancies) and then pushes the perturbed faces towards predefined prototypes using a novel regression-based bounded contrastive loss. To strengthen the generalization performance of SeeABLE to unknown deepfake types, we generate a rich set of soft discrepancies and train the detector: (i) to localize, which part of the face was modified, and (ii) to identify the alteration type. To demonstrate the capabilities of SeeABLE, we perform rigorous experiments on several widely-used deepfake datasets and show that our model convincingly outperforms competing state-of-the-art detectors, while exhibiting highly encouraging generalization capabilities.

Povzetek | Povezava | BibTeX | Oznake: biometrics, comparative study, computer vision, deepfake detection, deepfakes, detection, face, one-class learning @inproceedings{ERK_Marija_2021,Deepfakes or manipulated face images, where a donor's face is swapped with the face of a target person, have gained enormous popularity among the general public recently. With the advancements in artificial intelligence and generative modeling such images can nowadays be easily generated and used to spread misinformation and harm individuals, businesses or society. As the tools for generating deepfakes are rapidly improving, it is critical for deepfake detection models to be able to recognize advanced, sophisticated data manipulations, including those that have not been seen during training. In this paper, we explore the use of one--class learning models as an alternative to discriminative methods for the detection of deepfakes. We conduct a comparative study with three popular deepfake datasets and investigate the performance of selected (discriminative and one-class) detection models in matched- and cross-dataset experiments. Our results show that disciminative models significantly outperform one-class models when training and testing data come from the same dataset, but degrade considerably when the characteristics of the testing data deviate from the training setting. In such cases, one-class models tend to generalize much better. |
