DeepfakeStack: A Deep Ensemble-based Learning Technique for Deepfake Detection
Abstract
Recent advances in technology have made the deep learning (DL) models available for use in a wide variety of novel applications; for example, generative adversarial network (GAN) models are capable of producing hyper-realistic images, speech, and even videos, such as the so-called “Deepfake” produced by GANs with manipulated audio and/or video clips, which are so realistic as to be indistinguishable from the real ones in human perception. Aside from innovative and legitimate applications, there are numerous nefarious or unlawful ways to use such counterfeit contents in propaganda, political campaigns, cybercrimes, extortion, etc. To meet the challenges posed by Deepfake multimedia, we propose a deep ensemble learning technique called DeepfakeStack for detecting such manipulated videos. The proposed technique combines a series of DL based state-of-art classification models and creates an improved composite classifier. Based on our experiments, it is shown that DeepfakeStack outperforms other classifiers by achieving an accuracy of 99.65% and AUROC of 1.0 score in detecting Deepfake. Therefore, our method provides a solid basis for building a Realtime Deepfake detector.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
