The paper introduces a lightweight full-frame detector for partially manipulated AI-generated videos, suitable for edge deployment without face-detection preprocessing. It distills a DINOv2-Base teacher into a frozen MobileNetV3-Small student using temperature-annealed soft-label transfer, attention-diversity regularization, frame-level supervision, and a residual feature adapter. The model addresses false positives on legitimate scene cuts and threshold-level miscalibration, achieving an AUC of 0.766 on a 55,393-sample spliced test set while running at 3.65 ms per 16‑frame clip with a 150.4 MB checkpoint.

Recent advances in video generation models have significantly intensified the deepfake threat, yet the current deepfake video detection benchmarks remain underdeveloped. In particular, the effectiveness of image-level detectors in the video domain has not been systematically assessed.

Albireo is an adaptive, energy‑efficient inference framework for video object detection on edge devices that wraps existing detectors without modification. It uses a 10‑dimensional Kalman filter per active object to decide when to skip detector calls, predicting bounding boxes on skipped frames at near‑zero GPU cost. Evaluated on BDD100K with YOLO and RF‑DETR detectors on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor and Orin, Albireo maintains AP@50 within ±1.2 pp of full‑frame inference while reducing energy consumption by 12.1–17.6 % and improving accuracy for some models.
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.
arXiv:2607. 13234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deepfake detectors that achieve near-perfect scores on academic benchmarks collapse on real-world content: recent in-the-wild evaluations report AUC drops of 45-50% for state-of-the-art open-source models.
RT-DETRv4 introduces a cost‑effective distillation framework that leverages Vision Foundation Models to improve lightweight real‑time object detectors. The method uses a Deep Semantic Injector to embed high‑level VFM representations into deep detector layers and a Gradient‑guided Adaptive Modulation strategy to adjust semantic transfer intensity based on gradient norms. These techniques yield consistent performance gains across DETR‑based models without adding inference overhead, achieving state‑of‑the‑art COCO AP scores at high FPS.
arXiv:2607. 02886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying AI-generated video detectors in real-world services demands an ultra-low false positive rate (FPR) on real videos to avoid falsely rejecting authentic content, a regime where standard metrics such as AUROC fail to reflect actual operating behavior.

Verus-Insight is a new artifact detection framework for AI‑generated videos that treats detection as a structured process with three complementary capabilities: Inspection Planning, Evidence Verification, and Evidence Aggregation. The system is trained using human‑anchored full‑process supervision and progressive capability training, enabling it to perform fine‑grained artifact analysis and robust video‑level source prediction. A new benchmark, Verus‑Bench, provides fine‑grained human annotations of perceptible artifacts, and experiments show that Verus‑Insight outperforms existing methods in both artifact recovery and overall detection accuracy.

The paper introduces Gated Token Recurrence (GTR), a softmax‑free recurrent vision backbone that replaces global softmax attention with gated linear attention, alternating scan directions, and enhanced SwiGLU blocks. GTR is distilled from a DINOv3 teacher using only final‑layer patch‑token alignment, and achieves strong performance on COCO object detection (58.9 box AP) with very low latency (1.908 ms on an RTX 4090). The backbone also transfers to multiple dense prediction tasks and runs efficiently on edge hardware via a specialized CUDA operator and TensorRT deployment.
