MSU Team at the Explainable Deepfake Detection Challenge 2026: Grounded Artifact Evidence for Deepfake Detection
Recent advances in generative image models have made many manipulated images highly realistic, raising the need for detectors that are not only accurate but also able to provide visual evidence for their decisions. In this paper, we present our solution to the Explainable Deepfake Detection Challenge [2] on the XPlainV …
