However, various face forgery methods cause complex and biased data distributions, making it challenging to detect fake faces in unseen domains. We argue that different faces contribute differently to a detection model trained on multiple domains, making the model likely to fit domain-specific biases. As such, we propose the LTW approach based on the meta-weight learning algorithm, which configures different weights for face images from different domains. The LTW network can balance the model’s generalizability across multiple domains. Then, the meta-optimization calibrates the source domain’s gradient enabling more discriminative features to be learned. The detection ability of the network is further improved by introducing an intra-class compact loss. Extensive experiments on several commonly used deepfake datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in detecting synthetic faces.
