DAVID-XR1 from Fudan University presents an explainable method for detecting AI-generated videos, utilizing a new dataset, DAVID-X, which includes spatio-temporal defect annotations and natural language explanations. The model achieved 76.7% detection accuracy on videos from unseen AI generators and provided interpretable, localized explanations for its verdicts, showing improved performance over its backbone model and other commercial vision-language models.

Key insights

  • Creating a dataset with fine-grained defect-level, spatio-temporal annotations and natural language explanations is essential for developing explainable AI-generated video detection systems.
  • Distilling visual Chain-of-Thought (CoT) from powerful pre-trained models effectively guides smaller vision-language models to produce interpretable reasoning paths.
  • Jointly optimizing language modeling and classification objectives during fine-tuning ensures that the model's internal reasoning process is strongly linked to its detection decision, enhancing both accuracy and interpretability.
