abstract

Image forensics is an increasingly relevant problem, as it can potentially address online disinformation campaigns and mitigate problematic aspects of social media. Of particular interest, given its recent successes, is the detection of imagery produced by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), e.g. `deepfakes'. Leveraging large training sets and extensive computing resources, recent work has shown that GANs can be trained to generate synthetic imagery which is (in some ways) indistinguishable from real imagery. We analyze the structure of the generating network of a popular GAN implementation, and show that the network's treatment of color is markedly different from a real camera in two ways. We further show that these two cues can be used to distinguish GAN-generated imagery from camera imagery, demonstrating effective discrimination between GAN imagery and real camera images used to train the GAN.

DVAR: Adversarial Multi-Agent Debate for Video Authenticity Detection

cs.CV · 2026-04-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

DVAR turns video authenticity detection into an iterative debate between a generative hypothesis agent and a natural mechanism agent, resolved via minimum description length and a knowledge base for better generalization than supervised detectors.

Deepfake Detection Generalization with Diffusion Noise

cs.CV · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

ANL uses diffusion noise prediction and attention to regularize deepfake detectors for better generalization to unseen synthesis methods without added inference cost.

Causal Fingerprints of AI Generative Models

cs.CV · 2025-09-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Proposes causal fingerprints via causality-decoupling in pre-trained diffusion residual latent space for improved source attribution across GANs and diffusion models.
