Thread Details: Continual Training Across 11 Deepfake Generators, 4 Fairness Metrics

Author mundtmartin's thread post #2 detailing the experimental design of the preprint "Time to Fake It": 11 deepfake datasets ordered by release date (FaceForensics++ 2019 to Stable Diffusion-based fakes 2023), detectors continually trained in sequence, six continual learning methods compared, and 4 fairness metrics measured after every step.

Same paper as the main announcement, with the consistent finding that continual learning preserves accuracy at the cost of fairness across age, gender, and skin tone.
