AI-Generated Image Recognition via Fusion of CNNs and Vision Transformers

Xuan-Bach Mai, Hoang-Minh Nguyen-Huu, Quoc-Nghia Nguyen, Hoang-Tung Vu, Minh-Triet Tran, Trung-Nghia Le

Recent advancements in synthetic data technology have opened a new era where images of remarkable quality are generated, blurring the lines between real-life images and those produced by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This evolution poses a significant challenge to ensuring the reliability and authenticity of data, underscoring the need for robust detection methods. In this paper, we present a robust approach aimed at addressing these pressing concerns. Our methodology revolves around leveraging fusion strategies, combining the strengths of multiple detection methods for identifying AI-generated images. Through extensive experimentation on the CIFAKE dataset, our model showcases remarkable performance, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 97.32%. This accomplishment underscores the efficacy of our approach in accurately distinguishing between AI-generated images and real-life images, thus contributing to the advancement of data authentication techniques amidst the proliferation of synthetic data.

Improving Sample Diversity in Autoregressive Text-to-Image Generation via Cluster Truncation

Trang Nguyen, Shuang Wu, Runyan Tan, Phillip Howard

While diffusion models achieve state-of-the-art image quality for text-to-image (T2I) generation, recent work has demonstrated that they suffer from sample diversity collapse. In this work, we investigate whether autoregressive (AR) image generation models can push the Pareto fro…

GlobalForge: Towards Robust AI-Generated Image Detection

Manni Cui, Ruiqi Liu, Dianyuan Zou, Ziheng Qin, Jingrui Xu, ZiAn Wang, et al.

AI-generated image (AIGI) detectors achieve strong accuracy on clean benchmarks, but their performance drops sharply after images are propagated through real-world channels. We trace this fragility to what these detectors actually learn: they overfit to local artifacts left by ge…

Rethinking the Readout: Unlocking Video Backbones for AI-Generated Video Detection

Manni Cui, Ziheng Qin, ZiAn Wang, Ruiqi Liu, Dianyuan Zou, Jianglan Wei, et al.

AI-generated videos (AIGVs) typically contain subtle temporal artifacts that arise from inter-frame inconsistencies rather than within individual frames. A detector that captures such artifacts should therefore benefit from video pretrained backbones over image only ones. In prac…
