Lightweight Generalized DeepFake Face Detection with WAVIE: Wavelet Augmented Vision Intermediate Embeddings

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 13, 2026 · UTC

Deepfake detection systems often exhibit significant performance degradation when deployed on unseen manipulation methods, limiting their reliability in real-world multimedia environments. This lack of generalization poses critical challenges for misinformation mitigation, digital forensics, and human-centric AI systems. Existing detectors perform well on the forgery methods they are trained on, but their accuracy drops sharply on unseen pipelines. To bridge this generalization gap, we propose WAVIE (Wavelet Augmented Vision Intermediate Embeddings), an end-to-end architecture that combines co
