• Authors: Chenfan Qu, Yiwu Zhong, Fengjun Guo, Lianwen Jin,
• Abstract summary: We present open-set tampered scene text detection, which evaluates forensics models on their ability to identify both seen and unseen forgery types. We introduce a novel and effective training paradigm that subtly alters the texture of selected texts within an image and trains the model to identify these regions. We also present DAF, a framework that improves open-set generalization by distinguishing between the features of authentic and tampered text.

• Abstract: The rapid advancements of generative AI have fueled the potential of generative text image editing, meanwhile escalating the threat of misinformation spreading. However, existing forensics methods struggle to detect unseen forgery types that they have not been trained on, underscoring the need for a model capable of generalized detection of tampered scene text. To tackle this, we propose a novel task: open-set tampered scene text detection, which evaluates forensics models on their ability to identify both seen and previously unseen forgery types. We have curated a comprehensive, high-quality dataset, featuring the texts tampered by eight text editing models, to thoroughly assess the open-set generalization capabilities. Further, we introduce a novel and effective training paradigm that subtly alters the texture of selected texts within an image and trains the model to identify these regions. This approach not only mitigates the scarcity of high-quality training data but also enhances models' fine-grained perception and open-set generalization abilities. Additionally, we present DAF, a novel framework that improves open-set generalization by distinguishing between the features of authentic and tampered text, rather than focusing solely on the tampered text's features. Our extensive experiments validate the remarkable efficacy of our methods. For example, our zero-shot performance can even beat the previous state-of-the-art full-shot model by a large margin.

  This paper proposes a novel approach for text image generation, utilizing a pre-trained diffusion model.

  Deepfakes are realistic face manipulations that can pose serious threats to security, privacy, and trust. Existing methods mostly treat this task as binary classification, which uses digital labels or mask signals to train the detection model. We propose a novel paradigm named Visual-Linguistic Face Forgery Detection(VLFFD), which uses fine-grained sentence-level prompts as the annotation.

• Three ways to improve feature alignment for open vocabulary detection [88.65076922242184]
  Key problem in zero-shot open vocabulary detection is how to align visual and text features, so that the detector performs well on unseen classes. Previous approaches train the feature pyramid and detection head from scratch, which breaks the vision-text feature alignment established during pretraining. We propose three methods to alleviate these issues. Firstly, a simple scheme is used to augment the text embeddings which prevents overfitting to a small number of classes seen during training. Secondly, the feature pyramid network and the detection head are modified to include trainable shortcuts. Finally, a self-training approach is used to leverage a larger corpus of
