Spectra: Multi-Scale Implicit Decomposition for Deepfake Detection

Spectra is a deepfake detection framework that uses implicit neural representations (INRs) to analyze how an image is reconstructed, producing multi-level reconstruction heatmaps. These heatmaps are fused with semantic visual features via a bidirectional mechanism, enabling the model to detect forgery cues that are less tied to specific generation pipelines. Experiments on several deepfake benchmarks show that Spectra outperforms detectors relying only on RGB appearance or semantic representations, and it also extends to face presentation attack detection.

Unifying Semantic Priors and High-Frequency Traces: Enhancing V-JEPA with Mixture-of-Experts for Robust Synthetic Image Forensics

The paper introduces MoE-JEPA, a dual‑stream deepfake detection model that combines a V‑JEPA backbone with a Residual Mixture‑of‑Experts mechanism and a noise stream branch. It further incorporates a Gated Attention Multiple Instance Learning module to refine spatial semantic understanding. On the SID‑Set benchmark, MoE‑JEPA achieves a new state‑of‑the‑art accuracy of 95.54%, outperforming much larger models.

Reduce the Artifacts Bias for More Generalizable AI-Generated Image Detection

The paper proposes Artifact-Complementary Expert Fusion (ACEF), a two‑stage framework that enhances AI‑generated image detection by combining two types of reconstruction artifacts—VAE/DDIM and SRGAN—into aligned synthetic negatives. ACEF first builds artifact‑specific experts using LoRA adaptation on a frozen backbone, then fuses their multi‑layer evidence with Layer‑wise Artifact‑Complementary Fusion (LACF) to mitigate conflicts between artifact manifolds. Experiments on 13 benchmarks show that this approach improves generalizability over existing state‑of‑the‑art methods.

From Fake to Real: Pretraining on Balanced Synthetic Images to Prevent Spurious Correlations in Image Recognition

arXiv:2308. 04553v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual recognition models are prone to learning spurious correlations induced by a biased training set where certain conditions $B$ (\eg, Indoors) are over-represented in certain classes $Y$ (\eg, Big Dogs).
