DeepArtifactDB¶
Status: Planned
DeepArtifactDB is a reference database of generative-model artifact signatures with forensic annotation.
DeepArtifactDB is an open-source forensic reference resource designed to support examiner review of generative-model artifact signatures. It does not issue final authenticity opinions. It documents technical artifact signatures that examiners may use to identify features warranting further analysis.
What It Contains¶
Each entry documents one artifact signature from one generation method:
| Field | Content |
|---|---|
| Generation Method | Model architecture and version |
| Artifact Description | Precise technical description |
| Tool Output Examples | Annotated RK Tools outputs demonstrating the artifact |
| Academic Basis | Peer-reviewed citations |
| Forensic Interpretation | Evidentiary context, with known limitations |
| Limitations | Known false positives and adversarial countermeasures |
What It Produces¶
- Searchable, version-controlled artifact entries
- Methodology-documented annotations with peer-reviewed citations
- Citable exports for reference in forensic reporting
Scope Limitation¶
This resource supports forensic triage and examiner-led analysis. A reference entry documents a known artifact signature; it is not, by itself, an authentication opinion. The presence of a documented artifact does not prove manipulation, and its absence does not prove authenticity.
Availability¶
DeepArtifactDB is planned and not yet released. Installation and usage instructions will be published here when the first release is available.
