Full listing name: From Talking to Singing: A New Challenge for Audio-Visual Deepfake Detection

What is From Talking to Singing?

With rapid advances in audio-visual generative models, reliable forgery detection becomes increasingly critical. Existing methods for audio-visual deepfake detection typically rely on cross-modal inconsistencies. In singing, rhythmic vocalization weakens this coupling and introduces a nontrivial domain shift, substantially degrading detection performance. We construct the Singing Head DeepFake (SHDF) dataset using rhythm-aware generative models to fill the gap in singing benchmarks. To cope with cross-scenario domain shifts, we propose a Text-guided Audio-Visual Forgery Detection (T-AVFD) framework that generalizes across both talking and singing scenarios. T-AVFD comprises a facial authenticity pattern learner and a multi-modal differential weight learning module. The pattern learner aligns facial features with multi-granularity textual descriptions to learn generalizable authenticity patterns. The weight learning module preserves intrinsic audio-visual consistency and adaptively integrates it with authenticity patterns via differential weighting. Extensive experiments on multiple talking head deepfake datasets and SHDF show consistent improvements over existing baselines and strong robustness under diverse perturbations.

Tier C

C

Niche: a handful of models scored, or built by an RL vendor.

How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

How we got to tier C
  1. Adoption: 7 models scored. Tier C.
  2. Not yet read on X.
  3. In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
  4. Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.

A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.

Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
