DDL-X Deepfake Detection: Swin-Base Trace-Head Checkpoint

This repository publishes a trained checkpoint for DDL-X Track 3 deepfake detection, localization, and visible forgery trace prediction.

Model Details

• Architecture: Swin-Base visual backbone with classification, localization, and trace-head outputs
• Input size: 384 x 384
• Checkpoint file: swin_base_384_ep100_pretrained_trace_head_best.pt
• Checkpoint size: 1019 MB
• SHA256: 725fd1f9ed1baec3d8c10ea97918981c50a0ccf1fc39fc9e0649c3d14566182e
• Source checkpoint path: /mnt/big_disk/qi.wang/ddl_deepfake/runs/swin_base_384_ep100_pretrained_trace_head/best.pt

Intended Use

The model is intended for research on DDL-X-style image deepfake analysis. It predicts:

• image-level real / fake classification;
• manipulated-region localization masks, exported by the code as challenge-format bounding boxes;
• visible forgery trace keywords/text through the trace-head pipeline.

Usage

Clone or download the lightweight code included in code/, install dependencies, and run inference:

pip install -r code/requirements.txt

python code/infer.py \
  --data-root /path/to/DDL_X \
  --image-dir /path/to/DDL_X/image \
  --checkpoint swin_base_384_ep100_pretrained_trace_head_best.pt \
  --out-dir submissions/json \
  --amp

Verify the checkpoint after download:

sha256sum swin_base_384_ep100_pretrained_trace_head_best.pt

Expected:

Training Data

The model was trained on the local DDL-X development split generated by code/scripts/split_dataset.py.

Limitations

This checkpoint was trained for the DDL-X challenge data distribution and should not be treated as a general-purpose forensic detector without further validation. Localization targets are derived from coarse bounding boxes, so predicted masks and boxes may not precisely follow manipulation boundaries.
