- 构建多源混合数据集模拟真实世界生成图像复杂性
- 提出双阶段训练的视觉语言模型,性能超越现有方法5%~10%
- 支持推理时自适应思考,兼顾速度与准确率,适合部署于实际场景
生成式AI的快速发展使人工智能生成图像(AIGI)泛滥,严重威胁信息可信度。现有检测器在干净实验环境下表现良好,但在真实复杂场景中泛化能力差。本文提出Mirage基准,融合互联网来源的真实生成图像(经专家验证)与多模型协同合成的数据,模拟真实世界中噪声大、风格多样、经过后期编辑的AIGI。基于此,我们提出Mirage-R1模型,采用视觉-语言架构,结合启发式到分析式的推理机制和反思式推理策略,通过两阶段训练(监督微调+强化学习)实现高效检测。引入推理时自适应思考策略,可在快速判断与高精度结论间灵活切换。大量实验表明,该模型在Mirage和公开基准上分别领先现有方法5%和10%。相关代码与数据集将开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The spreading of AI-generated images (AIGI), driven by advances in generative AI, poses a significant threat to information security and public trust. Existing AIGI detectors, while effective against images in clean laboratory settings, fail to generalize to in-the-wild scenarios. These real-world images are noisy, varying from ``obviously fake" images to realistic ones derived from multiple generative models and further edited for quality control. We address in-the-wild AIGI detection in this paper. We introduce Mirage, a challenging benchmark designed to emulate the complexity of in-the-wild AIGI. Mirage is constructed from two sources: (1) a large corpus of Internet-sourced AIGI verified by human experts, and (2) a synthesized dataset created through the collaboration between multiple expert generators, closely simulating the realistic AIGI in the wild. Building on this benchmark, we propose Mirage-R1, a vision-language model with heuristic-to-analytic reasoning, a reflective reasoning mechanism for AIGI detection. Mirage-R1 is trained in two stages: a supervised-fine-tuning cold start, followed by a reinforcement learning stage. By further adopting an inference-time adaptive thinking strategy, Mirage-R1 is able to provide either a quick judgment or a more robust and accurate conclusion, effectively balancing inference speed and performance. Extensive experiments show that our model leads state-of-the-art detectors by 5% and 10% on Mirage and the public benchmark, respectively. The benchmark and code will be made publicly available.
