Fake images and videos, including facial information manipulation and generation, particularly with the rise of deep learning methods, have become a massive concern in recent years. The spread of disinformation causes a wide range of consequences ranging from individual abuses to political manipulations. Therefore, the need for detecting fake information is of crucial importance. The importance is to the extent that even in data science competition platforms like Kaggle, some giant companies, including Amazon, Google, and Facebook, co-sponsored a competition in 2020 for deepfake detection.
One of the most influential, widely used methods for generating fake images and videos using deep learning models is Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Different variations of GANs have gained tremendous abilities in generating realistic images and videos. This thesis aims to develop deep learning methods to detect face-generated content using deepfake methods. To this end, one promising direction is to encourage diversity in a deepfake detection system. The hypothesis is that a model with a certain level of diversity would be harder to be tricked against fake content.
