DF-CBM: 領域認識型コンセプトボトルネックモデルによるディープフェイク検出

原文アブストラクト

Deepfake detection methods have become increasingly effective yet most provide limited insight into the evidence behind their predictions. However, in forensic settings users also need to know which manipulation cues support the decision and where they appear. Existing explainability methods only partially address this need since localization-based approaches lack semantic descriptions while language-based explanation methods are only weakly grounded in visual evidence. In this work, we propose DF-CBM, a region-aware concept bottleneck model for explainable deepfake detection. DF-CBM builds a compact vocabulary of manipulation-related concepts from textual artifact annotations and links each concept to plausible facial and boundary regions. It then predicts these concepts from visual features using a concept-specific masked attention mechanism guided by parsed facial masks and the final real/fake decision is made from the predicted concept bottleneck. Our experiments show that DF-CBM outperforms concept-based baselines in concept prediction and deepfake classification while remaining competitive with state-of-the-art black-box detectors. Finally, qualitative results and intervention analyses demonstrate that DF-CBM provides spatially grounded concept evidence and enables counterfactual explanations of how individual manipulation concepts influence the final prediction.
