## What this evaluates

This benchmark evaluates the ability of deep learning models to detect AI-generated art (deeparts) versus conventional art (conarts) and identify their generative origins. It probes detector generalization across different state-of-the-art diffusion models and tests continual learning capabilities under evolving data streams with strict memory constraints.

## Datasets

- **DDDB** — total ?; splits: train (-1), test (-1)

## Metrics

- `AA` **(primary)** — range: percent
  - Average detection accuracy computed as the mean classification accuracy across all tested generative models or continual learning sessions.
- `mAP` — range: [0, 1]
  - Mean Average Precision calculated over the binary classification task of distinguishing deeparts from conarts, aggregating precision-recall curves across classes.
- `AF` — range: percent
  - Average Forgetting degree, measuring the performance drop from the initial training session to the final session in continual learning benchmarks.
- `CA` — range: [0, 1]
  - Copyright identification accuracy, measuring the model's ability to correctly classify the specific generative model that produced the deepart.

## Input / output format

**Input**: RGB images of either conventional art (conarts) or AI-generated art (deeparts) produced by models such as Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 2, Imagen, Midjourney, or Parti.

**Output**: Binary classification label (deepart vs. conart) with associated confidence scores, plus class labels for generative origin identification.

## Scoring recipe

```python
def compute_metrics(preds, gold, initial_accs, final_accs):
    aa = np.mean(accuracy_score(gold, preds))
    mAP = average_precision_score(gold, preds)
    af = np.mean([init - final for init, final in zip(initial_accs, final_accs)])
    ca = accuracy_score(gold_origin, pred_origin)
    return {'AA': aa, 'mAP': mAP, 'AF': af, 'CA': ca}
```

## Common pitfalls

- Applying traditional deepfake detectors (e.g., trained on ProGAN) directly to deeparts yields near-random accuracy (<50%) due to fundamentally different frequency patterns.
- Standard continual learning methods collapse in zero-buffer settings (CDD3) without the paper's proposed framework (Knowledge Distillation, Cosine Normalization, Prompt-tuning).
- Prompt-tuning (PT) achieves competitive Average Accuracy (AA) but significantly underperforms Fine-tuning (FT) on mAP, requiring careful metric selection for evaluation.

## Evidence (verbatim from paper)

> using such data augmentation brings marginal improvement in terms of AA, while rising the mAP score by about 3% over the no augmentation case.
