The rapid development of generative AI facilitates content creation and makes image manipulation easier and more difficult to detect. While multimodal Large Language Models (LLMs) have encoded rich world knowledge, they are not inherently tailored for combating AI-generated Content (AIGC) and struggle to comprehend local forgery details. In this work, we investigate the application of multimodal LLMs in forgery detection. We propose a framework capable of evaluating image authenticity, localizing tampered regions, providing evidence, and tracing generation methods based on semantic tampering clues. Our method demonstrates that the potential of LLMs in forgery analysis can be effectively unlocked through meticulous prompt engineering and the application of few-shot learning techniques. We conduct qualitative and quantitative experiments and show that GPT4V can achieve an accuracy of 92.1% in Autosplice and 86.3% in LaMa, which is competitive with state-of-the-art AIGC detection methods. We further discuss the limitations of multimodal LLMs in such tasks and propose potential improvements.

Recently, the stability of graph filters has been studied as one of the key theoretical properties driving the highly successful graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs). The stability of a graph filter characterizes the effect of topology perturbation on the output of a graph filter, a fundamental building block for GCNs. Many existing results have focused on the regime of small perturbation with a small number of edge rewires. However, the number of edge rewires can be large in many applications. To study the latter case, this work departs from the previous analysis and proves a bound on the stability of graph filter relying on the filter's frequency response. Assuming the graph filter is low pass, we show that the stability of the filter depends on perturbation to the community structure. As an application, we show that for stochastic block model graphs, the graph filter distance converges to zero when the number of nodes approaches infinity. Numerical simulations validate our findings.
