Abstract
Recent face swapping frameworks have achieved high-fidelity results. However, the previous works suffer from high computation costs due to the deep structure and the use of off-the-shelf networks. To overcome such problems and achieve real-time face swapping, we propose a lightweight one-stage framework, FastSwap. We design a shallow network trained in a self-supervised manner without any manual annotations. The core of our framework is a novel decoder block, called Triple Adaptive Normalization (TAN) block, which effectively integrates the identity and pose information. Besides, we propose a novel data augmentation and switch-test strategy to extract the attributes from the target image, which further enables controllable attribute editing. Extensive experiments on VoxCeleb2 and wild faces demonstrate that our framework generates high-fidelity face swapping results in 123.22 FPS and better preserves the identity, pose, and attributes than other state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, we conduct an in-depth study to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
