HumanForge: A Human-Centric Deepfake Video Benchmark with Multi-Agent Forgery Rationales
Rapid advancements in video diffusion models and temporal editing tools have enabled the generation of highly realistic human-centric videos, presenting unprecedented challenges to digital content forensics. Existing benchmarks primarily focus on face-swapping or global text-to-video synthesis, overlooking the crucial dimensions of multimodal alignment and complex human-object or human-human interactions. To address these limitations, we introduce HumanForge, a unified, large-scale, and multi-paradigm human-centric video forgery benchmark containing over 18,000 synthesized videos across four distinct scenarios: audio-driven, pose-driven, semantic-driven, and interaction. To construct and annotate this dataset without labor-intensive manual labeling or blind monolithic prompting, we propose Gen2Anno (Generation-to-Annotation), a cooperative multi-agent pipeline. Gen2Anno orchestrates six specialized agents-ranging from driving asset profiling to MoE-based reference analysis and closed-loop verification-to dynamically execute video synthesis and produce structured annotations containing binary authenticity labels, generative model attribution, and natural-language contrastive forgery rationales. By systematically contrasting expected states derived from generation provenance with actual visual observations, the framework generates logically grounded forensic reasoning chains. Extensive benchmarks using state-of-the-art traditional detectors and Vision-Language Models demonstrate the significant challenges of cross-generator generalization, perturbation robustness, and explainable reasoning on HumanForge. The code and dataset will be publicly released.
