Deepfake Creation and Detection of Multimedia Data Using Machine Learning

Abstract: This paper presents a multi-modal deepfake detection system capable of analyzing images, videos, and audio for signs of manipulation. The project addresses the limitations of single-modality detection systems by combining various machine learning and deep learning techniques to identify complex forgeries. The proposed system utilizes CNN and ResNet for detecting spatial inconsistencies in images, an LSTM on frame sequences for identifying temporal anomalies in videos, and a combination of Librosa and a Random Forest classifier for detecting synthetic audio patterns. The system aims to be resilient against adversarial attacks and provide accurate, real-time results through a user-friendly, Flask-based web interface. The anticipated outcomes include superior detection accuracy, balanced precision and recall, and enhanced generalization across diverse datasets.
