Abstract

The deepfake landscape demands a paradigm shift in detection, moving from Supervised Learning (SL) models that search for known artifacts to systems based on Unsupervised Learning (UL), capable of identifying anomalies and statistical deviations from authentic media. This paper provides a detailed analysis of integrating Advanced Computer Vision and UL Techniques to create robust Deepfake Forensics pipelines. The focus is on developing systems that do not depend on a predefined deepfake dataset, making them ideal for detecting zero-generationmanipulations or never-before-seen forgery techniques. We explore the use of Autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in their ability to model the distribution of normality (real videos) and the subsequent application of reconstruction metrics and latent mapping deviation to isolate the anomalous patterns that characterize the forgery. The practical application of these methodologies is vital for cybersecurity and content moderation on social media platforms, offering an authenticity verification mechanism that is resilient to the constant evolution of synthetic media technologies.
