FGRW: Fine-Grained Reversible Watermarking Based on Distribution-Adaptive Contrastive Augmentation Across Diverse Domains

This paper describes a new watermarking technique (a method to embed hidden ownership markers into AI models) that remains stable when models are fine-tuned (adjusted to perform new tasks) across different domains. The researchers propose a system that automatically adjusts synthetic training samples and watermark embedding based on the specific data, using out-of-distribution awareness (detecting when data differs significantly from expected patterns) to keep the watermark robust while maintaining the model's performance on its actual task.
