FORGE is a forensic deepfake analysis system that provides region‑grounded natural language explanations for image manipulations. It addresses the inductive bias mismatch of multimodal large language models by adding a Vision‑Only Model trained on dense patch prediction, allowing the language model to interleave tokens with preserved spatial correspondence. Across face‑manipulated and fully synthetic content, FORGE delivers fine‑grained attribute queries and outperforms in‑domain baselines, with region‑specific evaluation and human studies confirming explanation faithfulness.

The paper introduces GazeCLIP, a gaze‑guided CLIP framework that uses adaptive‑enhanced fine‑grained language prompts for deepfake attribution and detection (DFAD). It presents a new benchmark evaluating DFAD on novel generative methods such as diffusion and flow models, and proposes a gaze‑aware image encoder (GIE) that fuses gaze prompts with image embeddings to capture global forgery patterns. A language refinement encoder (LRE) further refines language embeddings for precise vision‑language matching, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance with 6.56% higher accuracy and 5.32% higher AUC on the benchmark.
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.
