Fake videos represent an important misinformation threat. While existing
forensic networks have demonstrated strong performance on image forgeries,
recent results reported on the Adobe VideoSham dataset show that these networks
fail to identify fake content in videos. In this paper, we show that this is
due to video coding, which introduces local variation into forensic traces. In
response, we propose VideoFACT - a new network that is able to detect and
localize a wide variety of video forgeries and manipulations. To overcome
challenges that existing networks face when analyzing videos, our network
utilizes both forensic embeddings to capture traces left by manipulation,
context embeddings to control for variation in forensic traces introduced by
video coding, and a deep self-attention mechanism to estimate the quality and
relative importance of local forensic embeddings. We create several new video
forgery datasets and use these, along with publicly available data, to
experimentally evaluate our network's performance. These results show that our
proposed network is able to identify a diverse set of video forgeries,
including those not encountered during training. Furthermore, we show that our
network can be fine-tuned to achieve even stronger performance on challenging
AI-based manipulations.

该研究提出了一种新的网络 VideoFACT，能够检测和定位多种视频伪造和操纵，包括那些未在训练中遇到的，并能在具有挑战性的基于人工智能的操纵上取得更强的性能表现。
