Using deep learning technology, deepfakes create fake images of a person that people cannot distinguish from the real one. Recently, many researchers have focused on understanding how deepkakes work and detecting using deep learning approaches. This paper introduces an explainable deepfake framework for images creation and classification. The framework consists of three main parts: the first approach is called Instant ID which is used to create deepfacke images from the original one;the second approach called Xception classifies the real and deepfake images;the third approach called Local Interpretable Model (LIME) provides a method for interpreting the predictions of any machine learning model in a local and interpretable manner. Our study proposes deepfake approach that achieves 100% precision and 100% accuracy for deepfake creation and classification. Furthermore, the results highlight the superior performance of the proposed model in deep fake creation and classification.展开更多

Fake news in multiple modalities is more likely tocreate a misleading perception among users. While early research primarily focused on text-based features forfake news detection mechanisms, there has been relatively limited exploration of learning shared representationsin multimodal (text and visual) contexts. To address these limitations, this paper introduces a multimodal modelfor detecting fake news, which relies on similarity reasoning and adversarial networks. The model employsBidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) and Text Convolutional Neural Network (Text-CNN) for extracting textual features while utilizing the pre-trained Visual Geometry Group 19-layer (VGG-19) toextract visual features. Subsequently, the model establishes similarity representations between the textual featuresextracted by Text-CNN and visual features through similarity learning and reasoning. Finally, these features arefused to enhance the accuracy of fake news detection, and adversarial networks have been employed to investigatethe relationship between fake news and events. This paper validates the proposed model using publicly availablemultimodal datasets from Weibo and Twitter. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approachachieves superior performance on Twitter, with an accuracy of 86%, surpassing traditional unimodalmodalmodelsand existing multimodal models. In contrast, the overall better performance of our model on the Weibo datasetsurpasses the benchmark models across multiple metrics. The application of similarity reasoning and adversarialnetworks in multimodal fake news detection significantly enhances detection effectiveness in this paper. However,current research is limited to the fusion of only text and image modalities. Future research directions should aimto further integrate features fromadditionalmodalities to comprehensively represent themultifaceted informationof fake news.展开更多

Fake news in multiple modalities is more likely tocreate a misleading perception among users. While early research primarily focused on text-based features forfake news detection mechanisms, there has been relatively limited exploration of learning shared representationsin multimodal (text and visual) contexts. To address these limitations, this paper introduces a multimodal modelfor detecting fake news, which relies on similarity reasoning and adversarial networks. The model employsBidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) and Text Convolutional Neural Network (Text-CNN) for extracting textual features while utilizing the pre-trained Visual Geometry Group 19-layer (VGG-19) toextract visual features. Subsequently, the model establishes similarity representations between the textual featuresextracted by Text-CNN and visual features through similarity learning and reasoning. Finally, these features arefused to enhance the accuracy of fake news detection, and adversarial networks have been employed to investigatethe relationship between fake news and events. This paper validates the proposed model using publicly availablemultimodal datasets from Weibo and Twitter. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approachachieves superior performance on Twitter, with an accuracy of 86%, surpassing traditional unimodalmodalmodelsand existing multimodal models. In contrast, the overall better performance of our model on the Weibo datasetsurpasses the benchmark models across multiple metrics. The application of similarity reasoning and adversarialnetworks in multimodal fake news detection significantly enhances detection effectiveness in this paper. However,current research is limited to the fusion of only text and image modalities. Future research directions should aimto further integrate features fromadditionalmodalities to comprehensively represent themultifaceted informationof fake news.
文摘In recent years,social media platforms have gained immense popularity.As a result,there has been a tremendous increase in content on social media platforms.This content can be related to an individual’s sentiments,thoughts,stories,advertisements,and news,among many other content types.With the recent increase in online content,the importance of identifying fake and real news has increased.Although,there is a lot of work present to detect fake news,a study on Fuzzy CRNN was not explored into this direction.In this work,a system is designed to classify fake and real news using fuzzy logic.The initial feature extraction process is done using a convolutional recurrent neural network(CRNN).After the extraction of features,word indexing is done with high dimensionality.Then,based on the indexing measures,the ranking process identifies whether news is fake or real.The fuzzy CRNN model is trained to yield outstanding resultswith 99.99±0.01%accuracy.This work utilizes three different datasets(LIAR,LIAR-PLUS,and ISOT)to find the most accurate model.
文摘The emergence of deep fake videos in recent years has made image falsification a real danger.A person’s face and emotions are deep-faked in a video or speech and are substituted with a different face or voice employing deep learning to analyze speech or emotional content.Because of how clever these videos are frequently,Manipulation is challenging to spot.Social media are the most frequent and dangerous targets since they are weak outlets that are open to extortion or slander a human.In earlier times,it was not so easy to alter the videos,which required expertise in the domain and time.Nowadays,the generation of fake videos has become easier and with a high level of realism in the video.Deepfakes are forgeries and altered visual data that appear in still photos or video footage.Numerous automatic identification systems have been developed to solve this issue,however they are constrained to certain datasets and performpoorly when applied to different datasets.This study aims to develop an ensemble learning model utilizing a convolutional neural network(CNN)to handle deepfakes or Face2Face.We employed ensemble learning,a technique combining many classifiers to achieve higher prediction performance than a single classifier,boosting themodel’s accuracy.The performance of the generated model is evaluated on Face Forensics.This work is about building a new powerful model for automatically identifying deep fake videos with the DeepFake-Detection-Challenges(DFDC)dataset.We test our model using the DFDC,one of the most difficult datasets and get an accuracy of 96%.
文摘In view of the various adverse effects,fake news detection has become an extremely important task.So far,many detection methods have been proposed,but these methods still have some limitations.For example,only two independently encoded unimodal information are concatenated together,but not integrated with multimodal information to complete the complementary information,and to obtain the correlated information in the news content.This simple fusion approach may lead to the omission of some information and bring some interference to the model.To solve the above problems,this paper proposes the FakeNewsDetectionmodel based on BLIP(FNDB).First,the XLNet and VGG-19 based feature extractors are used to extract textual and visual feature representation respectively,and BLIP based multimodal feature extractor to obtain multimodal feature representation in news content.Then,the feature fusion layer will fuse these features with the help of the cross-modal attention module to promote various modal feature representations for information complementation.The fake news detector uses these fused features to identify the input content,and finally complete fake news detection.Based on this design,FNDB can extract as much information as possible from the news content and fuse the information between multiple modalities effectively.The fake news detector in the FNDB can also learn more information to achieve better performance.The verification experiments on Weibo and Gossipcop,two widely used real-world datasets,show that FNDB is 4.4%and 0.6%higher in accuracy than the state-of-theart fake news detection methods,respectively.
文摘In the past few years,social media and online news platforms have played an essential role in distributing news content rapidly.Consequently.verification of the authenticity of news has become a major challenge.During the COVID-19 outbreak,misinformation and fake news were major sources of confusion and insecurity among the general public.In the first quarter of the year 2020,around 800 people died due to fake news relevant to COVID-19.The major goal of this research was to discover the best learning model for achieving high accuracy and performance.A novel case study of the Fake News Classification using ELECTRA model,which achieved 85.11%accuracy score,is thus reported in this manuscript.In addition to that,a new novel dataset called COVAX-Reality containing COVID-19 vaccine-related news has been contributed.Using the COVAX-Reality dataset,the performance of FNEC is compared to several traditional learning models i.e.,Support Vector Machine(SVM),Naive Bayes(NB),Passive Aggressive Classifier(PAC),Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),Bi-directional LSTM(Bi-LSTM)and Bi-directional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT).For the evaluation of FNEC,standard metrics(Precision,Recall,Accuracy,and F1-Score)were utilized.

文摘The motivation for this study is that the quality of deep fakes is constantly improving,which leads to the need to develop new methods for their detection.The proposed Customized Convolutional Neural Network method involves extracting structured data from video frames using facial landmark detection,which is then used as input to the CNN.The customized Convolutional Neural Network method is the date augmented-based CNN model to generate‘fake data’or‘fake images’.This study was carried out using Python and its libraries.We used 242 films from the dataset gathered by the Deep Fake Detection Challenge,of which 199 were made up and the remaining 53 were real.Ten seconds were allotted for each video.There were 318 videos used in all,199 of which were fake and 119 of which were real.Our proposedmethod achieved a testing accuracy of 91.47%,loss of 0.342,and AUC score of 0.92,outperforming two alternative approaches,CNN and MLP-CNN.Furthermore,our method succeeded in greater accuracy than contemporary models such as XceptionNet,Meso-4,EfficientNet-BO,MesoInception-4,VGG-16,and DST-Net.The novelty of this investigation is the development of a new Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)learning model that can accurately detect deep fake face photos.
文摘This paper proposes an original behavioural finance representative agent model,to explain how fake news’empirical price impacts can persist in finance despite contradicting the efficient-market hypothesis.The model reconciles empirically-observed price overreactions to fake news with empirically-observed price underreactions to real news,and predicts a novel secondary impact of fake news:that fake news in a security amplifies underreactions to subsequent real news for the security.Evaluating the model against a large-sample event study of the 2019 Chinese ADR Delisting Threat fake news and debunking event,this paper finds strong qualitative validation for its model’s dynamics and predictions.

文摘The proliferation of deluding data such as fake news and phony audits on news web journals,online publications,and internet business apps has been aided by the availability of the web,cell phones,and social media.Individuals can quickly fabricate comments and news on social media.The most difficult challenge is determining which news is real or fake.Accordingly,tracking down programmed techniques to recognize fake news online is imperative.With an emphasis on false news,this study presents the evolution of artificial intelligence techniques for detecting spurious social media content.This study shows past,current,and possible methods that can be used in the future for fake news classification.Two different publicly available datasets containing political news are utilized for performing experiments.Sixteen supervised learning algorithms are used,and their results show that conventional Machine Learning(ML)algorithms that were used in the past perform better on shorter text classification.In contrast,the currently used Recurrent Neural Network(RNN)and transformer-based algorithms perform better on longer text.Additionally,a brief comparison of all these techniques is provided,and it concluded that transformers have the potential to revolutionize Natural Language Processing(NLP)methods in the near future.
