Masked Conditional Diffusion Model for Enhancing Deepfake Detection

Recent studies on deepfake detection have achieved promising results when training and testing faces are from the same dataset. However, their results severely degrade when confronted with forged samples that the model has not yet seen during training. In this paper, deepfake data to help detect deepfakes. this paper present we put a new insight into diffusion model-based data augmentation, and propose a Masked Conditional Diffusion Model (MCDM) for enhancing deepfake detection. It generates a variety of forged faces from a masked pristine one, encouraging the deepfake detection model to learn generic and robust representations without overfitting to special artifacts. Extensive experiments demonstrate that forgery images generated with our method are of high quality and helpful to improve the performance of deepfake detection models.
