Adversarial Training for Pixel Diffusion

Pixel diffusion models generate RGB images directly but tend to miss fine‑scale natural‑image statistics. The authors introduce an adversarial post‑training step that adds an adversarial loss to the model’s output at non‑high‑noise timesteps, without changing the architecture or sampling procedure. This approach improves distribution fidelity, coverage, prompt alignment, and perceptual quality across two pixel backbones, and restores missing high‑frequency spectral power while avoiding memorization or mode dropping.

Relative Patch Response Learning for Generalizable AI-Generated Image Detection

The paper introduces Relative Patch Response Learning (PRL) to detect AI‑generated images by comparing patch responses across two mixed views of aligned real‑generated image pairs. PRL uses a relative response objective, a reference coherence objective, and an area ranking objective to address contextual shifts caused by self‑attention, providing precise supervision for patch‑level detection. Experiments show PRL outperforms prior methods by 4.3% and 5.9% in average balanced accuracy on standard and in‑the‑wild benchmarks.
