Swin Meets EfficientNet: Lightweight Architectures for GAN-Based Face Forensics

The paper presents lightweight architectures for detecting GAN-generated synthetic faces, comparing a compact Swin Transformer, pre‑trained Swin‑Tiny and Swin‑Small models, and a hybrid EfficientNet‑B0 + Swin Transformer. Using the 140K Real and Fake Faces dataset, the hybrid model achieved 99% accuracy and 99.44% recall on 5,000 test images, outperforming both pure Swin variants and a CNN‑only baseline. The study demonstrates that combining hierarchical CNN features with shifted‑window self‑attention yields an efficient, computationally lightweight detection method.

TIGA: Trajectory-Injected Generative Attack against Black-box AIGC Detectors

The paper introduces TIGA, a source‑image‑free, training‑free attack that injects adversarial properties into a diffusion model’s sampling trajectory to evade black‑box AIGC forensic detectors. TIGA aggregates gradients from white‑box surrogate detectors to create a transferable prior, then uses anisotropic directional search with finite‑difference queries to estimate and stabilize directions for the DDIM trajectory, applying frequency‑domain reshaping to reduce artifacts. Experiments demonstrate strong black‑box attack performance, transferability, and robustness to post‑processing while maintaining high perceptual quality.
