Detecting the Undetectable: Combining Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks and MLP for AI-Generated Image Detection
<|reference_start|>Detecting the Undetectable: Combining Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks and MLP for AI-Generated Image Detection: As artificial intelligence progresses, the task of distinguishing between real and AI-generated images is increasingly complicated by sophisticated generative models. This paper presents a novel detection framework adept at robustly identifying images produced by cutting-edge generative AI models, such as DALL-E 3, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion 3. We introduce a comprehensive dataset, tailored to include images from these advanced generators, which serves as the foundation for extensive evaluation. we propose a classification system that integrates semantic image embeddings with a traditional Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). This baseline system is designed to effectively differentiate between real and AI-generated images under various challenging conditions. Enhancing this approach, we introduce a hybrid architecture that combines Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN) with the MLP. This hybrid model leverages the adaptive, high-resolution feature transformation capabilities of KAN, enabling our system to capture and analyze complex patterns in AI-generated images that are typically overlooked by conventional models. In out-of-distribution testing, our proposed model consistently outperformed the standard MLP across three out of distribution test datasets, demonstrating superior performance and robustness in classifying real images from AI-generated images with impressive F1 scores.<|reference_end|>
