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.

The paper introduces AdaGate-DF, an adaptive gated deepfake detection framework designed for low-resolution and resource-constrained environments. By leveraging image-quality cues, the system routes samples through a dual multi-exit architecture, allowing high-quality images to exit earlier and reduce computational load. Evaluations on Celeb-DF and FaceForensics++ show that AdaGate-DF outperforms existing models such as MaD-CoRN and DefakeHop++ while maintaining low inference latency and robust performance across varying resolutions and class imbalance scenarios.
