The growing applications of facial recognition systems are accompanied by increasingly diverse security threats. Existing datasets lack detailed textual descriptions of forgery cues, leading most prior methods to treat face attack detection primarily as a visual recognition task. In this paper, building upon the large-scale MS-UFAD dataset which contains over 8 million attack images, we enrich each image with a fine-grained textual description of forgery cues. Furthermore, we propose a Dual Alignment Forgery Network(DAF-Net) to better leverage these textual information. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach extracts more generalizable and semantically meaningful forgery representations from attack images, outperforming both vision-only methods and approaches based on coarse-grained descriptions.

Most prior deepfake detection methods lack explainable outputs. With the growing interest in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), researchers have started exploring their use in interpretable deepfake detection. However, a major obstacle in applying MLLMs to this task is the scarcity of high-quality datasets with detailed forgery attribution annotations, as textual annotation is both costly and challenging - particularly for high-fidelity forged images or videos. Moreover, multiple studies have shown that reinforcement learning (RL) can substantially enhance performance in visual tasks, especially in improving cross-domain generalization. To facilitate the adoption of mainstream MLLM frameworks in deepfake detection with reduced annotation cost, and to investigate the potential of RL in this context, we propose an automated Chain-of-Thought (CoT) data generation framework based on Self-Blended Images, along with an RL-enhanced deepfake detection framework. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our CoT data construction pipeline, tailored reward mechanism, and feedback-driven synthetic data generation approach. Our method achieves performance competitive with state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches across multiple cross-dataset benchmarks. Implementation details are available at https://github.com/deon1219/rlsbi.
