Generated Images Are Easier to Forget: A Machine Unlearning Perspective for Synthetic Image Detection

This work establishes a new paradigm for generated image detection by recasting the detection task as a problem of machine unlearning, and introduces two detection methods: data-free detection, which prunes model parameters to induce unlearning without data access, and data-driven detection, which optimizes LVMs to unlearn knowledge tied to generated images.
