The paper introduces Concept-Aware Visual Anomaly Detection (Concept-Aware VAD), a framework that extends Concept Bottleneck Models to visual anomaly detection. It offers dual-branch architecture: a concept branch for human-interpretable descriptions and a visual branch for pixel-level localization, evaluated on three VAD benchmarks with competitive performance. A user study shows higher effectiveness and lower misleading rates compared to state-of-the-art explainers, and concept-level interventions improve unsupervised detection.

The MSU team presents a modular approach to the Explainable Deepfake Detection Challenge, combining multiple DINOv3 backbones with Mesorch manipulation-localization features for real/fake classification. They incorporate a Grounding-DINO-based pseudo-mask pipeline to generate artifact evidence maps and a local contrastive objective to separate artifact from authenticity cues. For explanations, class-conditional Qwen3-VL models produce complex descriptions, which are then simplified by a GRPO-optimized text model, achieving high detection and explanation scores on the XPlainVerse dataset.
The paper introduces Anomaly‑LR, a defect‑grounded latent reasoning framework for industrial anomaly detection that builds a global understanding of an image and then refines anomaly‑relevant representations directly in visual latent space. It also presents IAD‑LR‑22K, a new instruction dataset with 22,228 image‑question pairs and detailed annotations. Experiments demonstrate that Anomaly‑LR outperforms comparable‑scale methods on multiple IAD benchmarks without needing external references or tools.

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.
