Voice-Face Homogeneity Tells Deepfake
share
Detecting forgery videos is highly desirable due to the abuse of deepfake. Existing detection approaches contribute to exploring the specific artifacts in deepfake videos and fit well on certain data. However, the growing technique on these artifacts keeps challenging the robustness of traditional deepfake detectors. As a result, the development of generalizability of these approaches has reached a blockage. To address this issue, given the empirical results that the identities behind voices and faces are often mismatched in deepfake videos, and the voices and faces have homogeneity to some extent, in this paper, we propose to perform the deepfake detection from an unexplored voice-face matching view. To this end, a voice-face matching method is devised to measure the matching degree of these two. Nevertheless, training on specific deepfake datasets makes the model overfit certain traits of deepfake algorithms. We instead, advocate a method that quickly adapts to untapped forgery, with a pre-training then fine-tuning paradigm. Specifically, we first pre-train the model on a generic audio-visual dataset, followed by the fine-tuning on downstream deepfake data. We conduct extensive experiments over three widely exploited deepfake datasets - DFDC, FakeAVCeleb, and DeepfakeTIMIT. Our method obtains significant performance gains as compared to other state-of-the-art competitors. It is also worth noting that our method already achieves competitive results when fine-tuned on limited deepfake data.
