(AI4DH) 3rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Digital Humanities

Our colleague, Giuseppe Cartella (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) participated in the 3rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Digital Humanities (AI4DH), presenting the paper “Pixels of Faith: Exploiting Visual Saliency to Detect Religious Image Manipulation.”

Co-authored with Vittorio Cuculo, Marcella Cornia (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia), Marco Papasidero (University of Palermo), Federico Ruozzi and Rita Cucchiara (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia), the study addresses the challenge of detecting partially manipulated religious images using deep learning models enhanced by human-derived visual saliency maps. The research highlights a human-in-the-loop approach to improve fake detection systems, contributing to the preservation of religious and cultural content in the age of generative AI.
