Prior-Conditioned Gaussian Discriminants for Generalizable AI-generated Image Detection

The paper introduces prior-conditioned Gaussian discriminants as a diagnostic tool for AI-generated image detection. By fitting closed‑form classifier heads from first‑ and second‑order feature statistics, the authors evaluate performance across 39 public datasets (7.1 million images) using the Percept‑Lens protocol. Results show that these Gaussian heads can match or surpass existing detector heads when matched on prior and encoder, highlighting sensitivity to training prior, data efficiency, and representation dependence.

OD3: Optimization-free Dataset Distillation for Object Detection

OD3 introduces an optimization‑free dataset distillation framework tailored for object detection. The method first iteratively places object instances in synthesized images, then screens candidates with a pre‑trained observer model to discard low‑confidence objects. Applied to MS COCO and PASCAL VOC, OD3 achieves compression ratios from 0.25% to 5% and surpasses previous detection‑focused distillation methods by over 14% on COCO mAP50 at a 1.0% compression ratio.

A Real-Calibrated Synthetic-First Data Engine

The paper introduces the Real‑Calibrated Synthetic‑First Data Engine, a modular pipeline that integrates controllable diffusion‑based synthetic image generation with multi‑stage curation, filtering, and optional uncertainty‑driven selection and human verification. Designed as a CLI‑based framework, it allows independent configuration of generation, filtering, selection, and validation modules to enhance reproducibility and flexibility in real‑world data workflows. Empirical tests on human pose estimation demonstrate that synthetic data can boost a real‑data baseline when used as low‑cost augmentation, though synthetic‑only training still lags behind real‑only performance, underscoring the importance of data‑centric orchestration in low‑data regimes.
