Finetune is all you need: DeepFake detection via LLM and neural network fine-tuning
摘要
In recent years, deepfake techniques represented by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have achieved the capability to generate highly realistic images and video content. This poses a serious threat to personal privacy, social discourse security, and even national security. However, most existing approaches focus heavily on network architecture design while neglecting the semantic understanding capabilities of existing models, resulting in insufficient generalization performance in complex scenarios. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a deepfake detection framework based on multi-level fine-tuning strategies. The method constructs an Encoder-Decoder architecture detection system. The encoder employs a fully parameter fine-tuned fusion model of Vision Transformer (ViT) and Visual Geometry Group Network (VGGNet) to extract global and local image features, respectively. The decoder incorporates a large language model fine-tuned via LoRA to further fuse multi-scale features and perform semantic reasoning and classification. Experiments conducted on public datasets such as FaceForensics++ and OpenForensics demonstrate that the proposed method achieves 95.7% accuracy, 99.0% validation accuracy, 96.1% recall, and an F1 score of 97.2% on the DeepFake dataset, significantly outperforming mainstream baseline models including CNN, ResNet, and Swin Transformer.
