Breaking Latent Prior Bias in Detectors for Generalizable AIGC Image Detection — Zhou et al. (2025) (arXiv:2506.00874, 2025)
What this evaluates
Evaluates the cross-generator generalization capability of AI-generated image (AIGC) detectors. It probes whether models trained on a specific generator (SDv1.4) can accurately distinguish real from fake images produced by diverse, unseen generative models and in-the-wild sources.
Datasets
- GenImage — total ?; splits: train (-1), test (-1)
- GenImage++ — total ?; splits: test (-1)
- Chameleon — total ?; splits: test (-1)
Metrics
Accuracy (ACC)(primary) — range: percent- Percentage of correctly classified images (real vs. fake) out of the total test set. Calculated as (correct predictions / total predictions) × 100.
Input / output format
Input: Single RGB image (real or AI-generated) passed through a detector model (e.g., ResNet50 or CLIP ViT-L/14 + Linear Head).
Output: Binary classification prediction (real or fake), evaluated as a percentage accuracy against ground-truth labels.
Scoring recipe
def calculate_accuracy(predictions, labels):
correct = sum(1 for p, l in zip(predictions, labels) if p == l)
return (correct / len(labels)) * 100
Common pitfalls
- Models are trained exclusively on the SDv1.4 subset of GenImage, so in-domain accuracy on SDv1.4 may drop significantly after adversarial training, while cross-generator accuracy improves.
- The Chameleon dataset contains 'in-the-wild' images with diverse styles and compression, leading to substantially lower accuracy compared to controlled benchmark subsets.
- Comparisons must ensure baselines are trained under the same SDv1.4 protocol; some prior methods (e.g., AIDE) were trained on the full GenImage dataset, making direct comparison slightly unfair.
Evidence (verbatim from paper)
We assess detector performance using Accuracy (ACC).
