LEGO uses multiple generator-specific LoRA modules modulated by an MLP and fused with attention to detect synthetic images, achieving better performance than prior methods while using under 10% of the training data.
FakeReasoning is an MLLM-based framework for unified forgery detection and reasoning on AI-generated images, supported by the new MMFR-Dataset of 120K images and 378K annotations across 10 generators.
SEF introduces GAN upsampling for diverse artifacts and expert fusion to reduce domain interference, yielding stronger generalization on 13 benchmarks for AI-generated image detection.
ODP-Net uses instance-aware orthogonal decomposition, perturbation-based purification, and manifold alignment to separate universal forgery traces, generator fingerprints, and semantics, achieving SOTA on unseen architectures like Stable Diffusion 3.
Intermediate layer embedding sensitivity to perturbations distinguishes AI-generated images from real ones, yielding higher AUROC on GenImage and Forensics Small benchmarks than prior methods.
Frozen features from vision foundation models enable a linear probe to outperform specialized AIGI detectors by over 30% on in-the-wild data due to emergent forgery knowledge from pre-training.
GAPL learns a compact set of canonical forgery prototypes and applies two-stage LoRA training to build a low-variance feature space that improves generalization across GAN and diffusion generators.
PiN-CLIP jointly trains a noise generator and detector under a variational positive-incentive principle to inject feature-space noise that suppresses shortcut directions and improves out-of-distribution accuracy by 5.4 points on images from 42 generative models.
The ITW-SM dataset and targeted optimization of detector design choices yield a 26.87% average AUC improvement for state-of-the-art AI-generated image detectors under real-world social media conditions.
HFI detects LDM-generated images without training data by quantifying aliasing in autoencoder outputs and supports model-specific implicit watermarking.
MDMF detects AI-generated images by learning patch-level forensic signatures and quantifying their distributional discrepancies with MMD, yielding larger separation than global methods when micro-defects are present.
FakeVLM-R1 combines GRPO reinforcement learning with critical-thinking CoT and a physics-annotated FakeClue++ dataset to reach claimed SOTA synthetic image detection while reducing over-rejection of real images.
SPECTRA-Net fuses multi-view tensor representations from vision foundation models, spectral analysis, local anomaly detection, and statistical descriptors to achieve state-of-the-art cross-domain AI-generated image detection with explainable artifact localization.
I2P adaptively selects the most discriminative layers from visual foundation models for synthetic image detection and constrains task updates to low-sensitivity parameter subspaces to improve specificity without harming generalization.
LoRA-based pairwise training with distortion and size simulations boosts robust AIGI detection under severe distortions, placing third in the NTIRE challenge.
The NTIRE 2026 challenge provides a dataset of over 294,000 real and AI-generated images with 36 transformations to benchmark robust detection models.
This position paper contends that the concept of 'real' images must be rethought because most modern photographs are computationally generated, undermining current deepfake detection methods.
