Agent4FaceForgery: Multi-Agent LLM Framework for Realistic Face Forgery Detection

Face forgery detection faces a critical challenge: a persistent gap between offline benchmarks and real-world efficacy, which we attribute to the ecological invalidity of training data. This work introduces Agent4FaceForgery to address two fundamental problems: (1) how to capture the diverse intents and iterative processes of human forgery creation, and (2) how to model the complex, often adversarial, text-image interactions that accompany forgeries in social media. To solve this, we propose a multi-agent framework where LLM-powered agents, equipped with profile and memory modules, simulate the forgery creation process. Crucially, these agents interact in a simulated social environment to generate samples labeled for nuanced text-image consistency, moving beyond simple binary classification. An Adaptive Rejection Sampling (ARS) mechanism ensures data quality and diversity. Extensive experiments validate that the data generated by our simulation-driven approach brings significant performance gains to detectors of multiple architectures, fully demonstrating the effectiveness and value of our framework.
