Adaptive Gated Deepfake Detection for Low-Resolution and Resource-Constrained Environments
AdaGate-DF routes deepfake detection by image quality through dual multi-exit gates, hitting 0.9370 AUC on Celeb-DF with low inference latency.
AdaGate-DF is an adaptive gated deepfake detection framework that uses image-quality cues to send high-quality images through earlier exits, saving compute in resource-constrained settings. On Celeb-DF it achieves an AUC of 0.9370, outperforming MaD-CoRN and DefakeHop++, and reaches 0.9708 at 384x384 resolution. On FaceForensics++ it remains effective under class imbalance while balancing uncertainty-aware prediction and computational efficiency.
