ManiVid introduces a unified forensic analysis framework for manipulated videos, combining forgery detection, artifact grounding, and anomaly explanation. The authors release ManiVid-38K, a large dataset of 19K real‑fake video pairs with authenticity labels, forgery masks, and explanations, and a benchmark ManiVidBench with 1K balanced pairs. ManiVidLens, the proposed model, outperforms existing methods in artifact grounding and anomaly explanation while matching state‑of‑the‑art detection accuracy.

The paper introduces RED (Reconstruction Evolution Dynamics), a new framework for detecting AI-generated images that leverages the evolution of intermediate reconstruction stages rather than relying solely on static representations or endpoint discrepancies. RED uses a frozen multiscale VQ‑VAE and a frozen CLIP encoder to capture a reconstruction trajectory, then learns image‑adaptive stage weights from token negative log‑likelihoods provided by a frozen VAR model. Experiments on six benchmarks show RED achieves the highest average accuracy (92.5%) and precision (97.5%) among evaluated methods, and it remains robust to common image degradations.

The paper introduces Motion‑Aware Deepfake (MAD) videos, a new class of deepfakes generated by pose‑guided diffusion models that can animate entire human figures. To study this threat, the authors build the first MAD‑specific benchmark with 1.5 million frames from 1,363 real and 30,122 synthetic videos, and analyze the subtle high‑frequency artifacts and spectral fingerprints that arise from limited input frames. Leveraging these insights, they propose MoDA, a defense framework that combines spatial semantics with steganalysis‑rich frequency features, achieving high detection and attribution accuracy across in‑distribution, cross‑dataset, and zero‑shot scenarios, and demonstrating robustness against adaptive attacks.

FUSED is a new framework that jointly detects and localizes AI-generated inpainting by combining low-level forensic cues with high-level semantic features through a sparsely-gated Mixture-of-Experts architecture. It predicts both an image-level manipulation score and a pixel-level mask of the inpainted region. On the OpenSDID cross-generator benchmark, FUSED outperforms existing methods, especially on unseen generators, and transfers effectively to the AutoSplice and CocoGlide benchmarks, doubling localization performance.

As generated videos become increasingly realistic, reliable video forgery detection is increasingly important. Existing studies typically optimize and use video forgery detectors as black boxes, while the latent forgery-discriminative knowledge inside them remains largely unexplored.
