Deepfake Forensics: Detection, Attribution, Recognition, and Adversarial Challenges in the Era of AI-Generated Media
The DFF-2026 Workshop, part of ACM Multimedia 2026, focuses on advancing research in deepfake forensics to address the growing challenges of detecting, attributing, and recognizing AI-generated and manipulated multimedia content. It brings together experts in computer vision, multimedia forensics, and adversarial machine learning to develop robust, generalizable, and interpretable forensic methods amid rapidly evolving synthetic media technologies and counter-forensic strategies.
