Research

My research focuses on trustworthy visual intelligence: understanding what evidence remains reliable when visual content can be generated and manipulated, and how models can explain the evidence behind their decisions.

Generalizable AIGC & Deepfake Forensics

I study forensic representations that generalize beyond the generators and datasets seen during training. The central question is what traces remain stable as generative models continue to evolve.

Learning generalized artifacts from image gradients rather than relying on generator-specific appearance.

Using neighboring-pixel relationships induced by up-sampling operations as transferable generator priors.

C2P-CLIP

C2P-CLIP AAAI 2025

Introducing category-common prompts into vision-language representations for more generalizable deepfake detection.

Explainable Forensics & Multimodal Reasoning

Binary labels are often insufficient for trustworthy forensic analysis. I am interested in models that can identify abnormal evidence, localize it, describe it in natural language, and explain why it supports a forensic judgment.

AnomReason ICLR 2026

Semantic visual anomaly detection and reasoning for AI-generated images, moving from a single authenticity label toward structured anomaly descriptions and explanations.

ForenX

Exploring multimodal large language models for explainable AI-generated image forensics.

Trustworthy Visual Intelligence

My broader goal is to connect visual perception with knowledge and reasoning. This includes physical and semantic consistency, uncertainty-aware inference, multimodal evidence, and agentic systems that can use specialist tools to inspect visual hypotheses.

Across these directions, I am particularly interested in methods that are generalizable, evidence-grounded, and interpretable.
