# Ensemble Deepfake Detector

**State-of-the-art ensemble model** combining Deep SVDD + Autoencoder for deepfake detection with **77.5% accuracy** and **88.75% recall**.

## Model Description

This ensemble combines two complementary anomaly detection approaches:

1. **Deep SVDD** - Detects anomalies via hypersphere distance in latent space
2. **Autoencoder** - Detects anomalies via reconstruction error

Each model has 50% voting weight, and scores are averaged with an optimized threshold.

## Performance

Evaluated on 800 test images (CIFAR-10 vs MNIST, CIFAR-10 vs Fashion-MNIST):

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Accuracy** | **77.50%** |
| **Precision** | **72.22%** |
| **Recall** | **88.75%** 🎯 |
| **F1 Score** | **79.46%** |
| **Model Agreement** | 53.00% |

**Key Strength:** 88.75% recall means it catches **nearly 9 out of 10 fakes**!

## Quick Start

```python
from ensemble_model import EnsembleDeepfakeDetector

# Load ensemble (downloads both models automatically)
detector = EnsembleDeepfakeDetector.from_pretrained()

# Predict on image
score, is_fake = detector.predict('image.jpg')
print(f"Deepfake Score: {score:.4f}")
print(f"Is Fake: {is_fake}")
```

## Installation

```bash
pip install torch torchvision huggingface-hub pillow
```

## Threshold Options

The ensemble uses an **optimized threshold of 0.1163** by default:

```python
# Use different thresholds
detector.set_threshold(0.1163)  # Optimal (default) - 88.75% recall
detector.set_threshold(0.5)     # Conservative - fewer false positives
detector.set_threshold(0.05)    # Sensitive - catch even more fakes
```

**Threshold Comparison:**

| Threshold | Accuracy | Precision | Recall | Use Case |
|-----------|----------|-----------|--------|----------|
| **0.1163 (optimal)** | 77.5% | 72.2% | **88.8%** | **Recommended** - Best balance |
| 0.5 (conservative) | 66.9% | 73.1% | 47.5% | Minimize false alarms |
| 0.05 (sensitive) | ~70% | ~65% | ~95% | Maximum detection |

## Component Models

This ensemble uses:
- [ash12321/deep-svdd-anomaly-detection](https://huggingface.co/ash12321/deep-svdd-anomaly-detection)
- [ash12321/deepfake-autoencoder-cifar10-v2](https://huggingface.co/ash12321/deepfake-autoencoder-cifar10-v2)

## How It Works

1. **Deep SVDD**: Learns a hypersphere around normal images. Fakes fall outside this sphere.
2. **Autoencoder**: Learns to reconstruct normal images. Fakes have high reconstruction error.
3. **Ensemble**: Averages both scores (50/50 voting) for robust detection.

**Low Model Agreement (53%)** indicates the models detect different anomaly types - this is a strength!

## Training Data

- CIFAR-10 (natural images)
- CIFAR-100 (natural images)
- STL-10 (natural images)

## Limitations

- Trained on natural images - best for detecting distribution shift
- May not generalize to all deepfake types
- Requires RGB images resized to 128x128
