# 🚀 CLIP-Enhanced Deepfake Detection with RAG-Inspired Innovations

A cutting-edge deepfake detection framework that integrates **CLIP Vision-Language models** with **Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT)** and **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)** inspired techniques for enhanced detection performance across multiple benchmark datasets.

## 📊 Overview

This repository implements a novel deepfake detection approach that extends the CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) model through several key innovations:

1. **Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT)** with LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
2. **Learnable Text Prompts** for adaptive textual representation
3. **Hard Negative Mining** for improved discriminative learning
4. **Memory-Augmented Contrastive Learning** (RAG-inspired)
5. **Dynamic Knowledge-Augmented Text Prompts** (RAG-inspired)

The framework achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple deepfake detection benchmarks while maintaining computational efficiency through selective parameter updates.

## 🎯 Key Features

### 🔧 **Technical Innovations**

| Innovation | Description | Key Benefit |
|------------|-------------|-------------|
| **PEFT with LoRA** | Low-rank adaptation of CLIP transformer layers | 90%+ parameter reduction, efficient fine-tuning |
| **Learnable Text Prompts** | Adaptive text feature learning instead of fixed prompts | Dataset-specific textual representations |
| **Hard Negative Mining** | Focus on challenging misclassification cases | Improved discrimination at decision boundaries |
| **Memory-Augmented Contrastive** | RAG-inspired feature retrieval and augmentation | Enhanced generalization through memory |
| **Knowledge-Augmented Prompts** | Dynamic text prompt enhancement with retrieved knowledge | Context-aware textual representations |

### 📈 **Performance Highlights**

- **Multi-dataset evaluation** across FaceForensics++, DeepFakeDetection, FaceShifter, and derivatives
- **Dual evaluation metrics**: Frame-level and video-level AUC/AP
- **Efficient training**: Only ~2% of CLIP parameters are trainable
- **Flexible configuration**: YAML-based experiment configuration

## ⚙️ Configuration

The system uses YAML configuration for all experiment settings. Key configuration sections:

### Model Configuration
```yaml
model:
  base_model: "CLIP-ViT-B-32"  # or "CLIP-ViT-L-14"
  use_peft: true
  lora_rank: 16
  lora_alpha: 16
  lora_dropout: 0.1
```

### Training Configuration
```yaml
training:
  nEpochs: 50
  batch_size: 32
  optimizer: "adam"
  learning_rate: 1e-4
  temperature: 0.07  # Contrastive learning temperature
```

### Innovation Toggles
```yaml
innovations:
  use_learnable_prompts: true
  use_hard_mining: true
  use_memory_augmented: true
  use_knowledge_augmented_prompts: true
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Training from Scratch

```bash
# Basic training with default configuration
python train_cvpr2025.py

# With custom configuration
python train_cvpr2025.py --config path/to/custom_config.yaml

# Specify experiment name
python train_cvpr2025.py --experiment_name "ff++_lora_experiment"
```

### 2. Evaluating Pre-trained Models

```bash
# Evaluate a saved checkpoint
python -c "from train_cvpr2025 import test_with_loaded_weights; test_with_loaded_weights('checkpoints/best_lora_weights.pth')"

# With custom config
python -c "from train_cvpr2025 import test_with_loaded_weights; test_with_loaded_weights('checkpoints/best.pth', 'config/custom.yaml')"
```

### 3. Custom Dataset Integration

To add a new dataset:

1. Create dataset JSON file in the expected format
2. Update configuration with dataset paths
3. Add dataset to `train_dataset` or `test_dataset` lists

## 🔬 Technical Details

### LoRA Implementation

The system uses PEFT's LoRA implementation for efficient fine-tuning:

```python
from peft import LoraConfig, get_peft_model

lora_config = LoraConfig(
    r=16,  # LoRA rank
    lora_alpha=16,
    target_modules=["q_proj", "v_proj"],  # Attention layers to adapt
    lora_dropout=0.1,
    bias="none",
    task_type=TaskType.FEATURE_EXTRACTION,
)

model = get_peft_model(clip_model, lora_config)
```

### Memory-Augmented Contrastive Learning

Inspired by RAG, this component retrieves similar features from memory banks to augment contrastive learning:

```python
class MemoryBank:
    def retrieve(self, query_feat, k=5):
        # Retrieve k most similar features
        similarities = query_feat @ self.memory.t()
        _, indices = torch.topk(similarities, k)
        return self.memory[indices]
```

### Dynamic Knowledge-Augmented Prompts

Text prompts are dynamically enhanced with retrieved knowledge from training:

```python
class KnowledgeAugmentedTextPrompts:
    def forward(self, img_feat):
        # Retrieve relevant knowledge
        real_knowledge, fake_knowledge = self.knowledge_bank.retrieve(img_feat)
        
        # Augment base prompts with retrieved knowledge
        enhanced_real = self.fusion(base_real_prompt, real_knowledge)
        enhanced_fake = self.fusion(base_fake_prompt, fake_knowledge)
        
        return enhanced_real, enhanced_fake
```

## 📊 Evaluation Metrics

### Frame-Level Metrics
- **AUC**: Area Under ROC Curve
- **AP**: Average Precision

### Video-Level Metrics
- **Video AUC**: Aggregated frame predictions per video

- FF-DF, FF-F2F, FF-FS, FF-NT subsets

## 🎨 Visualization Features

The training script includes progress tracking:

```python
# Training progress with tqdm
for images, labels in tqdm(train_loader, desc=f"Epoch {epoch}"):
    # Training loop
    pass

# Real-time metrics display
print(f"[Eval] {dataset_name}: AUC={auc:.4f} AP={ap:.4f}")
```

## 📈 Performance Optimization

- Mixed precision training (FP16)
- Efficient data loading with multiple workers

### Speed Optimizations
- Pre-computed text feature caching
- Batch-wise retrieval operations
- Optimized data augmentation pipelines

## 🔍 Debugging and Logging

Comprehensive logging is built-in:

```python
# File existence checks
if not os.path.exists(full_path):
    print(f"[Warning] Image not found: {full_path}")
    
# Memory bank statistics
print(f"[Memory] Real samples: {real_size}, Fake samples: {fake_size}")

# Training progress
print(f"[Train] Epoch {epoch}: loss={loss:.4f}, lr={lr:.6f}")
```
