摘要

The rapid advancement of generative models has precipitated a surge in synthetic imagery, posing a severe threat to the integrity of digital information across multiple domains. Detecting such content presents a significant challenge, particularly in low-resolution scenarios where manipulation artifacts are often subtle or obscured. To address this issue, we propose a comprehensive Ensemble Learning framework designed to enhance deepfake detection capabilities on the CIFAKE dataset. We conduct a systematic empirical evaluation of four core strategies: bagging, voting, boosting, and stacking, utilizing state-of-the-art CNN architectures as backbone models. Furthermore, this study introduces a dynamic threshold optimization ( \(\tau ^*\) ) and weight tuning technique to minimize false positive rates. Experimental results demonstrate that the Bagging strategy outperforms existing benchmarks. Concurrently, our analysis confirms that leveraging architectural diversity is more effective than relying on complex single models, offering an optimal balance between detection accuracy and computational efficiency.
