Notes ⚠️

• If you want to import the CAP data into your own dataset, please refer to this.
• If you want to run RamDG on datasets other than SAMM and use CNCL to incorporate external knowledge, please ensure to configure idx_cap_texts and idx_cap_images in the dataset jsons.
• We have upgraded the SAMM JSON files. The latest versions (SAMM with CAP or without CAP) are available on July 24, 2025. Please download the newest version.

Brief introduction

We present SAMM, a large-scale dataset for Detecting and Grounding Semantic-Coordinated Multimodal Manipulation. The official code has been released at this.

• image: The relative path to the original or manipulated image.
• text: The original or manipulated text caption.
• fake_cls: Indicates the type of manipulation (e.g., forgery, editing).
• fake_image_box: The bounding box coordinates of the manipulated region in the image.
• fake_text_pos: A list of indices specifying the positions of manipulated tokens within the text string.
• cap_texts: Textual information extracted from CAP (Contextual Auxiliary Prompt) annotations.
• cap_images: Relative paths to visual information from CAP annotations.
• idx_cap_texts: A binary array where the i-th element indicates whether the i-th celebrity in cap_texts is tampered (1 = tampered, 0 = not tampered).
• idx_cap_images: A binary array where the i-th element indicates whether the i-th celebrity in cap_images is tampered (1 = tampered, 0 = not tampered).
