A Sanity Check for Multi-In-Domain Face Forgery Detection in the Real World

Existing methods for deepfake detection aim to develop generalizable detectors. Although "generalizable" is the ultimate target once and for all, with limited training forgeries and domains, it appears idealistic to expect generalization that covers entirely unseen variations, especially given the diversity of real-world deepfakes. Therefore, introducing large-scale multi-domain data for training can be feasible and important for real-world applications. However, within such a multi-domain scenario, the differences between multiple domains, rather than the subtle real/fake distinctions, dominate the feature space. As a result, despite detectors being able to relatively separate real and fake within each domain (i.e., high AUC), they struggle with single-image real/fake judgments in domain-unspecified conditions (i.e., low ACC). In this paper, we first define a new research paradigm named Multi-In-Domain Face Forgery Detection (MID-FFD), which includes sufficient volumes of real-fake domains for training. Then, the detector should provide definitive real-fake judgments to the domain-unspecified inputs, which simulate the frame-by-frame independent detection scenario in the real world. Meanwhile, to address the domain-dominant issue, we propose a model-agnostic framework termed DevDet (Developer for Detector) to amplify real/fake differences and make them dominant in the feature space. DevDet consists of a Face Forgery Developer (FFDev) and a Dose-Adaptive detector Fine-Tuning strategy (DAFT). Experiments demonstrate our superiority in predicting real-fake under the MID-FFD scenario while maintaining original generalization ability to unseen data.

The Exploration-Exploitation Dilemma Revisited: An Entropy Perspective

The imbalance of exploration and exploitation has long been a significant challenge in reinforcement learning. In policy optimization, excessive reliance on exploration reduces learning efficiency, while over-dependence on exploitation might trap agents in local optima. This paper revisits the exploration-exploitation dilemma from the perspective of entropy by revealing the relationship between entropy and the dynamic adaptive process of exploration and exploitation. Based on this theoretical insight, we establish an end-to-end adaptive framework called AdaZero, which automatically determines whether to explore or to exploit as well as their balance of strength. Experiments show that AdaZero significantly outperforms baseline models across various Atari and MuJoCo environments with only a single setting. Especially in the challenging environment of Montezuma, AdaZero boosts the final returns by up to fifteen times. Moreover, we conduct a series of visualization analyses to reveal the dynamics of our self-adaptive mechanism, demonstrating how entropy reflects and changes with respect to the agent's performance and adaptive process.
