Beyond Surface Artifacts: Capturing Shared Latent Forgery Knowledge Across Modalities
As generative artificial intelligence evolves, deepfake attacks have escalated from single-modality manipulations to complex, multimodal threats. Existing forensic techniques face a severe generalization bottleneck: by relying excessively on superficial, modality-specific artifacts, they neglect the shared latent forgery knowledge hidden beneath variable physical appearances. Consequently, these models suffer catastrophic performance degradation when confronted with unseen "dark modalities." To break this limitation, this paper introduces a paradigm shift that redefines multimodal forensics from conventional "feature fusion" to "modality generalization." We propose the first modality-agnostic forgery (MAF) detection framework. By explicitly decoupling modality-specific styles, MAF precisely extracts the essential, cross-modal latent forgery knowledge. Furthermore, we define two progressive dimensions to quantify model generalization: transferability toward semantically correlated modalities (Weak MAF), and robustness against completely isolated signals of "dark modality" (Strong MAF). To rigorously assess these generalization limits, we introduce the DeepModal-Bench benchmark, which integrates diverse multimodal forgery detection algorithms and adapts state-of-the-art generalized learning methods. This study not only empirically proves the existence of universal forgery traces but also achieves significant performance breakthroughs on unknown modalities via the MAF framework, offering a pioneering technical pathway for universal multimodal defense.

No Attacker Needed: Unintentional Cross-User Contamination in Shared-State LLM Agents
LLM-based agents increasingly operate across repeated sessions, maintaining task states to ensure continuity. In many deployments, a single agent serves multiple users within a team or organization, reusing a shared know…
A Latent Morphology Model for Open-Vocabulary Neural Machine Translation
Translation into morphologically-rich languages challenges neural machine translation (NMT) models with extremely sparse vocabularies where atomic treatment of surface forms is unrealistic. This problem is typically addr…
