Transformer-based deepfake detector using multi-scale temporal features and differential cross-modal attention to identify audio-visual inconsistencies
Output Integrity Attack multimodalaudiovision
Audio-visual deepfake detection typically employs a complementary multi-modal model to check the forgery traces in the video. These methods primarily extract forgery traces through audio-visual alignment, which results from the inconsistency between audio and video modalities. However, the traditional multi-modal forgery detection method has the problem of insufficient feature extraction and modal alignment deviation. To address this, we propose a multi-scale cross-modal transformer encoder (MSCT) for deepfake detection. Our approach includes a multi-scale self-attention to integrate the features of adjacent embeddings and a differential cross-modal attention to fuse multi-modal features. Our experiments demonstrate competitive performance on the FakeAVCeleb dataset, validating the effectiveness of the proposed structure.
