Enhancing Self-Supervised Talking Head Forgery Detection via a Training-Free Dual-System Framework

Supervised talking head forgery detection faces severe generalization challenges due to the continuous evolution of generators. By reducing reliance on generator-specific forgery patterns, self-supervised detectors offer stronger cross-generator robustness. However, existing research has mainly focused on building stronger detectors, while the discriminative capacity of trained detectors remains insufficiently exploited. In particular, for score-based self-supervised detectors, the limited discriminative ability on hard cases is often reflected in unreliable anomaly ordering, leaving room for further refinement. Motivated by this observation, we draw inspiration from the dual-system theory of human cognition and propose a Training-Free Dual-System (TFDS) framework to further exploit the latent discriminative capacity of existing score-based self-supervised detectors. TFDS treats anomaly-like scores as the basis of System-1, using lightweight threshold-based routing to partition samples into confident and uncertain subsets. System-2 then revisits only the uncertain subset, performing fine-grained evidence-guided reasoning to refine the relative ordering of ambiguous samples within the original score distribution. Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent improvements across datasets and perturbation settings, with the gains arising mainly from corrected ordering within the uncertain subset. These findings show that existing self-supervised talking head forgery detectors still contain underexploited discriminative cues that can be effectively unlocked through training-free dual-system reasoning.

Frequency-Aware Semantic Fusion with Gated Injection for AI-generated Image Detection

AI-generated images are becoming increasingly realistic and diverse, posing significant challenges for generalizable detection. While Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) provide rich semantic representations and frequency-based methods capture complementary artifact cues, existing approaches that combine these modalities still suffer from limited generalization, with notable performance degradation on unseen generative models. We attribute this limitation to two key factors: frequency shortcut bias toward easily distinguishable cues associated with specific generators and cross-domain representation conflict between high-level semantics and low-level frequency patterns. To address these issues, we propose a Frequency-aware Gated Injection Network (FGINet) to improve generalization. Specifically, we design a Band-Masked Frequency Encoder (BMFE) that applies cross-band masking in the frequency domain to reduce reliance on generator-specific patterns and encourage more diverse and generalizable representations. We further introduce a Layer-wise Gated Frequency Injection (LGFI) mechanism to progressively inject frequency cues into the VFM backbone with adaptive gating, aligning with its hierarchical abstraction and alleviating representation conflict. Moreover, we propose a Hyperspherical Compactness Learning (HCL) framework with a cosine margin objective to learn compact and well-separated representations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FGINet achieves state-of-the-art performance and strong generalization across multiple challenging datasets.

HiMix: Hierarchical Artifact-aware Mixup for Generalized Synthetic Image Detection

The rapid evolution of generative models has enabled the creation of highly realistic and diverse synthetic images, posing significant challenges to reliable and generalizable Synthetic Image Detection (SID). However, existing detectors are typically trained on limited and biased datasets, resulting in poor generalization to unseen generators. To address this issue, we propose HiMix, a unified framework that enhances generalization by expanding the training distribution and promoting artifact-aware representations. Specifically, the Mixup-driven Distributional Augmentation (MDA) module constructs continuous transitional samples between real and fake images, improving coverage of low-confidence regions and exposing the model to more challenging samples, while the pixel-wise mixup operation smoothly perturbs semantics to enhance sensitivity to low-level artifacts. Moreover, the Hierarchical Artifact-aware Representation (HAR) module aggregates artifact information from both global and local levels through cross-layer integration and coarse-to-fine feature fusion, enabling the extraction of discriminative forgery representations under diverse distributions. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate that HiMix achieves state-of-the-art performance, establishing well-separated logits for improved generalization to unseen forgeries.

LEGO: LoRA-Enabled Generator-Oriented Framework for Synthetic Image Detection

The rapid advancement of generative technologies has made synthetic images nearly indistinguishable from real ones, thereby creating an urgent need for robust detectors to counter misinformation. However, existing methods mainly rely on universal artifact features that are shared across multiple generators. We observe that as the diversity of generators increases, the overlap of these common features gradually decreases. This severely undermines model generalization. In contrast, focusing only on unique artifacts tends to cause overfitting to specific forgery patterns. To address this challenge, we propose LEGO (LoRA-Enabled Generator-Oriented Framework). The core mechanism of LEGO employs an MLP to modulate multiple LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) blocks, each pretrained to capture the unique artifacts of a specific generator, followed by attention-based feature fusion. Unlike conventional methods that seek a single universal solution, LEGO delegates unique artifact extraction to specialized LoRA modules by dividing its training procedure into two stages. Each LoRA module is individually trained on a single-generator dataset to learn generator-specific representations, then MLP and attention layers are trained on mixed datasets to dynamically regulate the contribution of each module. Benefiting from its modular yet robust design, LEGO can be naturally extended by incorporating new LoRA modules for adaptation to newly emerging next-generation datasets, while still achieving substantially better performance than prior SOTA methods with fewer than 30,000 training images, less than 10% of their training data, and only 5 epochs in each training stage.

MASRA: MLLM-Assisted Semantic-Relational Consistent Alignment for Video Temporal Grounding

Video Temporal Grounding (VTG) faces a cross-modal semantic gap that often leads to background features being incorrectly aligned with the query, while directly matching the query to moments results in insufficient discriminability and consistency of temporal semantics. To address this issue, we propose MLLM-Assisted Semantic-Relational Consistent Alignment (MASRA), a training-time MLLM-based optimization framework for VTG. MASRA leverages an MLLM during training to produce two forms of textual priors, namely event-level descriptions with temporal spans and clip-level captions, and instantiates two MLLM-assisted alignments. Event Semantic Temporal Alignment (ESTA) aligns temporal context with event semantics to explicitly strengthen the correspondence between semantics and temporal events and improve span-level separability. Local Relational Consistency Alignment (LRCA) constructs a textual relation matrix derived from clip-level captions and aligns it with the temporal feature similarity matrix in the model, enhancing temporal consistency while capturing local structural information. MASRA includes two simple supporting modules, semantic-guided enhancement and second-order relational attention, to better utilize the learned semantic context and relational structure. Moreover, we introduce Decoupled Alignment Interaction (DAI) with a context-aware codebook to adaptively absorb query-irrelevant semantics and alleviate the cross-modal gap. The MLLM is only invoked during training and is not used at inference. Extensive experiments show that MASRA outperforms existing methods, and ablation studies validate its effectiveness.

Unleashing the Potential of Neighbors: Diffusion-based Latent Neighbor Generation for Session-based Recommendation

Session-based recommendation aims to predict the next item that anonymous users may be interested in, based on their current session interactions. Recent studies have demonstrated that retrieving neighbor sessions to augment the current session can effectively alleviate the data sparsity issue and improve recommendation performance. However, existing methods typically rely on explicitly observed session data, neglecting latent neighbors - not directly observed but potentially relevant within the interest space - thereby failing to fully exploit the potential of neighbor sessions in recommendation. To address the above limitation, we propose a novel model of diffusion-based latent neighbor generation for session-based recommendation, named DiffSBR. Specifically, DiffSBR leverages two diffusion modules, including retrieval-augmented diffusion and self-augmented diffusion, to generate high-quality latent neighbors. In the retrieval-augmented diffusion module, we leverage retrieved neighbors as guiding signals to constrain and reconstruct the distribution of latent neighbors. Meanwhile, we adopt a training strategy that enables the retriever to learn from the feedback provided by the generator. In the self-augmented diffusion module, we explicitly guide the generation of latent neighbors by injecting the current session's multi-modal signals through contrastive learning. After obtaining the generated latent neighbors, we utilize them to enhance session representations for improving session-based recommendation. Extensive experiments on four public datasets show that DiffSBR generates effective latent neighbors and improves recommendation performance against state-of-the-art baselines.
