High-Level Workflow

Fake content generation is a complex task consisting of a number of components and steps that help in generating believable content. While this space is seeing quite a lot of research and hacks that improve the overall results, the setup can largely be explained using a few common building blocks. In this lesson, we’ll discuss a common high-level flow that describes how a deepfake setup uses data to train and generate fake content. We'll also touch upon a few common architectures used in a number of works as basic building blocks.

As discussed earlier, a deepfake setup requires a source identity ($x_s$ ...
