Assistance Required: Downloading DFDC and Celeb-DF Datasets for Deepfake Detection

[lijichang]

Dear Authors,

I hope this finds you well. I am reaching out to you with regard to a matter of keen interest to me. I am currently working on testing the code and model weights provided in a recent piece of work on deepfake detection. However, I am encountering some challenges while trying to download the needed datasets, specifically the DFDC and Celeb-DF datasets.

Firstly, as I understand it, downloading the DFDC dataset requires registration through an AWS account. Despite multiple attempts, I have not been successful in completing this registration. I am unsure if there is an issue with the process or if the problem lies on my end. I did, however, stumble upon a similar dataset on Kaggle, the details of which can be found at this link: Kaggle Deepfake Detection Challenge Dataset. Could you please confirm if this is the same dataset used in the work I am referring to? If not, could you guide me on how to obtain a download to the DFDC dataset?

Secondly, while trying to download the Celeb-DF dataset, I found two versions available - Celeb-DF v1 and Celeb-DF v2. Could you kindly clarify which version was used in the paper?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide on these matters. I believe your insights will be invaluable in advancing my work in this important area.

Looking forward to your response.

Best Regards,
JC

Dear Qichang,

Thank you for your response.

I would like to follow up on a point of discussion, regarding the DFDC dataset. Do you have additional insights or information on this dataset or as mentioned above?

Thank you very much for your help.
Best,
JC
