A Hybrid CLIP-Diffusion Architecture for Transparent Deepfake Detection and Explainability Evaluation

· 0 citations · 32 references

TL;DR

This paper studies how to build deep-fake detectors that both generalize to unseen image generators and provide transparent explanations of their decisions, and proposes a hybrid CLIP-Diffusion architecture that combines a frozen CLIP back-bone with a classifier operating on intermediate features and a diffusion-based reconstruction error head.

Understanding Why Foundation Models Work for Diffusion-Generated Image Detection

This work investigates what cues are exploited by foundation-model-based detectors to distinguish real images from diffusion-generated ones and suggests that foundation-model-based detectors succeed by capturing non-semantic low-to-mid frequency distributional discrepancies between real and diffusion-generated images.

Radial Residual Frequency: A Semantically Aligned Benchmark and Spectral Detector for AI-Generated Images

A data-generation pipeline that captions real photographs with a vision–language model and regenerates them with modern text-to-image systems, producing semantically aligned real/synthetic pairs that isolate generative artifacts from image content is described.
