The paper introduces ADAPT, an adversarial disentangled prompt tuning framework designed to improve the robustness of vision‑language models. ADAPT employs a dual‑prompt strategy: a target prompt learns robust features while a set of decoy prompts capture pseudo‑robust, non‑generalizable shortcuts. By enforcing orthogonality between target and decoy prompts, the method mitigates robust generalization overfitting and provides a theoretical error bound for unseen classes, leading to significant empirical robustness gains.

Explainable Deepfake Detection with Feature-robust Augmentation and Evidence-grounded Explanation Optimization proposes a new framework that improves deepfake detection and interpretability. The approach introduces Feature-robust Augmentation—diversified degradation-aware strategies combined with supervised contrastive learning and a mean-teacher architecture—to maintain accuracy on low-quality images. For explanations, it employs evidence-grounded preference optimization, guiding the model to focus on genuine manipulation traces by learning from chosen-rejected explanation pairs that omit evidence or inject irrelevant details. The method achieved first place in the ACM Multimedia 2026 Explainable Deepfake Detection Challenge and is publicly available on GitHub.
