| contents | Existing lip-sync deepfake detectors rely on pixel artifacts or audio-visual correspondence, and both fail under generator or language shift because the features they learn are tied to the training distribution. We take a different approach. Authentic lip motion is constrained by tissue mechanics and neuromuscular bandwidth; current generators typically do not impose these constraints, producing trajectories with elevated variance in velocity, acceleration, and jerk that real speech does not exhibit. We exploit this signal, which we term temporal lip jitter, by computing kinematic statistics from 64 perioral landmarks over short sliding windows and feeding them into a lightweight three-branch network. The model uses only landmark coordinates: no pixels, no audio, and no voiceprint data. We train only on English data and test in a zero-shot setting on five unseen generators and seven languages. |
