The paper introduces IMFD, an end‑to‑end multi‑face forgery detector that uses instruction‑based Large Vision‑Language Models (LVLMs). IMFD jointly localizes faces and predicts forgery labels in a single stage, explicitly incorporating predicted face bounding boxes into the textual instruction to improve grounding and detection. Experiments on converted multi‑face forgery datasets show that IMFD outperforms several state‑of‑the‑art methods.

The paper introduces VeriFi, a watermarking framework that protects face images from AI‑generated manipulation. It embeds a compact semantic latent watermark to preserve content, localizes pixel‑level edits without explicit payloads, and simulates realistic deepfake attacks to improve robustness. Experiments on CelebA‑HQ and FFHQ show that VeriFi outperforms existing methods in robustness, localization accuracy, and recovery quality.

The paper proposes a unified forensics framework that extends traditional binary image manipulation detection to a multiclass setting—distinguishing real, fully synthetic, and tampered images. It adds a segmentation branch for pixel‑level localization of tampered regions, achieving higher classification accuracy and IoU scores compared to recent benchmarks. The authors provide the implementation on GitHub for reproducibility.

The paper introduces Separable Prompt Learning (SePL), a method that enhances face forgery detection by leveraging CLIP’s textual encoder through two separate learnable prompts. SePL incorporates a cross-modality alignment strategy and specific objectives to distill forgery knowledge from CLIP. Experiments show that SePL outperforms existing approaches in cross-dataset and cross-method evaluations.

UniShield is a multi‑agent framework that unifies forgery image detection and localization across diverse domains such as image manipulation, document manipulation, DeepFake, and AI‑generated images. It combines a perception agent that analyzes image features to select appropriate detection models with a detection agent that integrates multiple expert detectors into a single system, producing interpretable reports. Experiments demonstrate that UniShield outperforms existing unified approaches and domain‑specific detectors, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance and greater practicality, adaptiveness, and scalability.
