Explainable Deepfake Detection Challenge
Deepfake detection is moving beyond binary classification decisions toward systems that can also explain the visual evidence supporting those decisions. This transition is important for real-world verification settings, where diverse users need to understand not only whether an image is manipulated, but also why it is considered suspicious. The Explainable Deepfake Detection Challenge at ACM Multimedia 2026 is designed to benchmark this joint capability. Built on XPlainVerse, a million-scale benchmark for explainable deepfake detection, the challenge evaluates methods on image classification and grounded natural-language explanation generation. Participants submit a real/fake label together with two explanations for each image: a detailed complex explanation for technical users and a concise simple explanation for general users. The evaluation combines classification metrics with semantic similarity, simplicity, and intent-aware grounding metrics that assess whether explanations identify the relevant manipulated entities and supporting visual evidence. The methodologies developed through the challenge will contribute to the development of next-generation explainable deepfake detectors. Evaluation script, baseline models, and accompanying code are available on https://github.com/Abhijeet8901/XPlainVerse-ACMChallenge.
