FIDAVL: Fake Image Detection and Attribution using Vision-Language Model
This addresses the challenge of identifying synthetic images for security and media verification, representing an incremental improvement with specific gains.
The paper tackles the problem of detecting fake images and attributing them to their source models, achieving an average detection accuracy of 95.42% and an F1-score of 95.47% for attribution.
We introduce FIDAVL: Fake Image Detection and Attribution using a Vision-Language Model. FIDAVL is a novel and efficient mul-titask approach inspired by the synergies between vision and language processing. Leveraging the benefits of zero-shot learning, FIDAVL exploits the complementarity between vision and language along with soft prompt-tuning strategy to detect fake images and accurately attribute them to their originating source models. We conducted extensive experiments on a comprehensive dataset comprising synthetic images generated by various state-of-the-art models. Our results demonstrate that FIDAVL achieves an encouraging average detection accuracy of 95.42% and F1-score of 95.47% while also obtaining noteworthy performance metrics, with an average F1-score of 92.64% and ROUGE-L score of 96.50% for attributing synthetic images to their respective source generation models.
