1st AADD‑2025 Challenge: Adversarial Attacks on Deepfake Detectors
We are very proud to announce that the 1st AADD‑2025 Challenge: Adversarial Attacks on Deepfake Detectors, held as a grand challenge at ACM Multimedia 2025, was a remarkable success.!! The challenge brought together teams from around the world to address a critical and timely issue: how synthetic media detection systems can be compromised by adversarial manipulations.
With rigorous evaluation, a rich dataset of GAN- and diffusion-based deepfake images in both high- and low-quality resolutions, and a leaderboard revealing outstanding contributions, the event provided a powerful forum for advancing the state of the art in adversarial resilience for deepfake detectors.
We extend our deepest thanks to the organisers of the challenge:
