EviStress: テキスト説明付き顔偽造検出の汎化のための証拠ストレス学習

原文アブストラクト

The rapid spread of face forgeries on the Web challenges the credibility of visual content. In practical Web environments, manipulated media originate from evolving generation pipelines and undergo diverse processing during dissemination, making reliable authenticity assessment under unseen manipulations and visual changes a critical challenge. We observe that a standard LoRA-adapted CLIP detector exhibits uneven patch-level decision dependence, concen trating a disproportionate share of class-specific relevance on a small fraction of visual patches. To improve robustness to variations in such highly dependent evidence, we propose EviStress, a two-stage framework for generalizable face forgery detection with textual explanations. In the first stage, Evidence-Targeted Patch Perturbation (ETPP) estimates patch dependence from global, relational, and semantic cues and assigns positively correlated perturbation probabilities, explicitly stress-testing highly dependent visual evidence during training. We further introduce Discriminative Variation Preservation (DVP), which constrains the residual between clean and perturbed representations to retain authenticity discriminative information. In the second stage, Intrinsic Evidence Instruction Tuning (IEIT) transfers the adapted CLIP encoder into LLaVA as its vision tower and performs parameter-efficient multimodal instruction tuning, enabling authenticity prediction and textual explanation directly from the learned forgery-sensitive representation without an external detector. Experiments demonstrate improved cross-dataset and cross-method generalization and corruption robustness, with the multimodal model providing authenticity predictions and human-readable explanations.
