The widespread application of AIGC contents has brought not only unprecedented opportunities, but also potential security concerns, e.g., audio-visual deepfakes. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop an effective and generalizable…

Audio deepfake detection is well-studied as a binary problem, but partially manipulated speech, where a short synthesised segment is spliced into an otherwise genuine utterance, poses a harder and more realistic threat. Detecting such…

Current researches on Deepfake forensics often treat detection as a classification task or temporal forgery localization problem, which are usually restrictive, time-consuming, and challenging to scale for large datasets. To resolve these…
