FORGE is a forensic deepfake analysis system that provides region‑grounded natural language explanations for image manipulations. It addresses the inductive bias mismatch of multimodal large language models by adding a Vision‑Only Model trained on dense patch prediction, allowing the language model to interleave tokens with preserved spatial correspondence. Across face‑manipulated and fully synthetic content, FORGE delivers fine‑grained attribute queries and outperforms in‑domain baselines, with region‑specific evaluation and human studies confirming explanation faithfulness.

The paper introduces a self‑referential retrosynthesis framework for explainable AI provenance forensics that works with fixed‑generator generative models. It uses a jointly optimized encoder‑decoder pair to embed client inputs, generate high‑fidelity outputs, and then verify provenance by comparing the resynthesized image to the original query. The method eliminates the need for watermarking or generator modifications while providing interpretable evidence of a model’s output origin.

The paper introduces a self-referential retrosynthesis framework for explainable AI provenance forensics that works with fixed generative models. It uses a jointly optimized encoder-decoder pair to embed client inputs, allowing the generator to produce high-fidelity outputs while enabling round-trip consistency checks. The method eliminates the need for watermarking or generator modifications and provides interpretable evidence linking generated images back to their source inputs.
