Deepfake & AI-Generated Image Detection with Visual Explanation using Vision–Language Models
Our project develops a deepfake and AI-generated image detection system that uses a vision–language model to provide both a verdict and a human-readable explanation. We fine-tuned the FakeReasoning model using memory-efficient QLoRA while preserving its pretrained visual features. The resulting system improves detection performance on our target dataset, maintains strong generalization across unseen image generators, and is deployed through a simple web interface where users can upload an image and review the model’s reasoning.
