Anchoring the Unknown: Open-Set Model Attribution via Proxy-Anchor Learning

Cristian-Teodor Neamtu, Serban Mihalache, Stefan Smeu +3

The proliferation of text-to-speech (TTS) systems capable of generating realistic synthetic speech poses growing challenges for audio forensics. While binary deepfake detection has…

Investigating self-supervised representations for audio-visual deepfake detection

Dragos-Alexandru Boldisor, Stefan Smeu, Dan Oneata +1

Self-supervised representations excel at many vision and speech tasks, but their potential for audio-visual deepfake detection remains underexplored. Unlike prior work that uses th…

DeCLIP: Decoding CLIP representations for deepfake localization

Stefan Smeu, Elisabeta Oneata, Dan Oneata

Generative models can create entirely new images, but they can also partially modify real images in ways that are undetectable to the human eye. In this paper, we address the chall…
