These forgeries can be highly realistic, posing serious risks to trust in digital media and undermining personal reputation, dignity, and the integrity of public discourse. This paper presents the Lightweight Deepfake Evaluation Framework (Light-wDEF)– a resource-efficient, reproducible framework tailored for large-scale evaluation of visual deepfake detectors on modest hardware. Light-wDEF combines deterministic frame sampling, batched MTCNN face extraction, streaming append-only storage with lazy offset indexing, online Albumentations augmentations, stratified splits with class-aware sampling, and robust training (AdamW, optional focal loss, per-epoch checkpointing with exact resume). Light-wDEF is designed as a reproducible and resource-conscious evaluation framework that focuses on experimental standardization, reproducibility, and efficient benchmarking of deepfake detection models. Using Light-wDEF, ConvNeXt-Base is identified as the most effective visual model in this study on the basis of AUC, balanced accuracy, F1, precision and recall while remaining compatible with Colab T4-class resource constraints. Ten modern visual models were trained and evaluated under identical conditions across five public datasets (Celeb-DF, FaceForensics++, Google DFD, FakeAVCeleb, DFDC Preview). Results show that convolutional families provide the best practical balance of discrimination and efficiency (ConvNeXt-Base achieves <span>(AUCge 0.96)</span> and <span>(text {F1}ge 0.94)</span> on the evaluated sets). The findings also expose limitations of visual-only detection on multimodal corpora such as FakeAVCeleb, motivating future multimodal fusion and domain-adaptation research. Fixed seeds, archived checkpoints, and environment metadata are provided to support exact replication.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8041,"journal":{"name":"Applied Intelligence","volume":"56 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its performance is often degraded by subtle inter-class differences, large intra-class variations, scale changes, occlusion, and cluttered backgrounds. These factors weaken discriminative responses and easily induce shortcut learning from background context, thereby limiting generalization. To address this problem, a dual-view multi-scale feature enhancement and fusion network is proposed for accurate and efficient FGVC. Specifically, a lightweight multi-scale feature enhancement module is designed to strengthen discriminative cues in features through multi-branch modeling and channel attention. A dynamic feature fusion module is then designed to align and adaptively integrate enhanced multi-level features in both spatial and channel dimensions, producing more informative representations. In addition, a dual-branch self-distillation framework is constructed, in which the raw-image branch and the enhanced-view branch share the same architecture. Combined with open-vocabulary text-guided foreground cropping and an augmented-view transfer module, the soft predictions of the enhanced branch are used to guide the raw branch toward foreground-oriented decision boundaries. During inference, only a single branch is retained, so improved performance is achieved without additional inference overhead. Extensive experiments on multiple public FGVC benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness, robustness, and generality of the proposed method.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8041,"journal":{"name":"Applied Intelligence","volume":"56 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, under <i>extreme label imbalance</i>, such sharing can exacerbate <i>negative transfer</i>, where improving one task degrades another. Existing multi-task architectures, such as MMoE and Progressive Layered Extraction (PLE), attempt to mitigate task interference through expert-based routing, but they still rely on fully learned soft gating over shared and task-specific experts. Under severe imbalance, the gating networks are often dominated by high-frequency tasks, leading to unstable routing and insufficient representation learning for sparse tasks. To address this limitation, we propose H-PLE, a hierarchical multi-task recommendation framework built upon progressive layered extraction. H-PLE incorporates three complementary design elements: a hierarchical extraction structure that progressively separates shared and task-specific representations across stacked layers, a raw-input-aware gating mechanism (AGC) that injects the projected raw input as a residual candidate to stabilize routing under sparse supervision, and a lightweight expert-level interaction module that introduces FM-style second-order feature interactions to enhance inductive bias. The evaluation includes multi-seed runs, independent random splits, modern baselines, component ablations, calibration metrics, PR-AUC, GAUC, and threshold-optimized F1. Experiments on two real-world Tenrec video recommendation scenarios (QK and QB) with highly imbalanced engagement tasks (Like and Share) show that H-PLE-family variants consistently improve sparse-task ranking and minority-class retrieval over MMoE and PLE, while remaining competitive with or stronger than Cross-Stitch, PCGrad, and loss-rebalancing baselines (focal, class-balanced BCE), all of which underperform vanilla MMoE in our most imbalanced setting and therefore highlight the difficulty of the QB-Share scenario. The results also reveal an important limitation: the full H-PLE model is not uniformly best on every QB metric; AGC is the most robust component under the most extreme sparsity, while FM is beneficial when its interaction rank is carefully controlled.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8041,"journal":{"name":"Applied Intelligence","volume":"56 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An empirical study on 29 stock markets and five realized-volatility proxies shows that, for one-step-ahead forecasting (<span>(varvec{h = 1})</span>), Sig-GSPHAR outperforms econometric and deep learning benchmarks and delivers consistent gains over GSPHAR, with paired one-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (Holm-adjusted) indicating significance across multiple proxies. For long-horizon forecasting (<span>(varvec{h = 22})</span>), direct comparisons against GSPHAR indicate that the advantage of Sig-GSPHAR becomes more pronounced.

Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models, while extensively utilized, suffer from inherent limitations such as systematic biases, coarse spatial resolution, and difficulty in accurately predicting extreme rainfall events. Deep learning-based post-processing has emerged as a promising approach to refine NWP outputs, but existing methods struggle with effectively capturing multi-scale meteorological features and addressing severe class imbalances in extreme precipitation predictions. To overcome these challenges, we propose Rain-PostEFNet, a multi-scale deep learning framework for post-processing NWP precipitation forecasts that captures meteorological features across scales and mitigates severe class imbalance in extreme precipitation forecasts. It integrates EfficientNet for feature extraction, ECA-Net for adaptive channel attention, and FPN-Swin-Unet for multi-scale feature refinement, along with a multi-task learning strategy that jointly optimizes classification and regression tasks using weighted focal loss and Mean Squared Error (MSE) loss to improve predictive skill for rare heavy rain events. We evaluate our approach on the PostRainBench datasets (China, Germany, Korea) using Critical Success Index (CSI), Heidke Skill Score (HSS), and Accuracy (ACC) as evaluation metrics. Experimental results demonstrate that Rain-PostEFNet significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving relative CSI improvements of 63.94% in China, 4.28% in Germany, and 2.1% in Korea for moderate rainfall, and 78.34% in China, 9.09% in Germany, and 7.68% in Korea for heavy rainfall. Similarly, HSS increases by 52.18% in China and 2.95% in Germany for moderate rain, and by 52.4% in China and 6.78% in Germany for heavy rain. Additionally, an ablation study further confirms the impact of the multi-task learning framework and attention mechanisms in refining NWP predictions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8041,"journal":{"name":"Applied Intelligence","volume":"56 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, it introduces a residual compensation mechanism that extracts deep-level features from the reconstruction errors of the encoder. This mechanism not only avoids the over-smoothing risk caused by repeatedly stacked graph propagation commonly observed in deep graph models, but also enhances the model’s representational power.

To address these issues, we propose a Spectral-Spatial-Strain Network (S3Net), a unified physics-aware framework.
