Deepfakes uses deep learning technology to manipulate images and videos of a person that humans cannot differentiate them from the real one. In recent years, many studies have been conducted to understand how deepfakes work and many approaches based on deep learning have been introduced to detect deepfakes videos or images. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive review of deepfakes creation and detection technologies using deep learning approaches. In addition, we give a thorough analysis of various technologies and their application in deepfakes detection. Our study will be beneficial for researchers in this field as it will cover the recent state-of-art methods that discover deepfakes videos or images in social contents. In addition, it will help comparison with the existing works because of the detailed description of the latest methods and dataset used in this domain.展开更多

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.
文摘Deep learning is an effective and useful technique that has been widely applied in a variety of fields, including computer vision, machine vision, and natural language processing. Deepfakes uses deep learning technology to manipulate images and videos of a person that humans cannot differentiate them from the real one. In recent years, many studies have been conducted to understand how deepfakes work and many approaches based on deep learning have been introduced to detect deepfakes videos or images. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive review of deepfakes creation and detection technologies using deep learning approaches. In addition, we give a thorough analysis of various technologies and their application in deepfakes detection. Our study will be beneficial for researchers in this field as it will cover the recent state-of-art methods that discover deepfakes videos or images in social contents. In addition, it will help comparison with the existing works because of the detailed description of the latest methods and dataset used in this domain.
文摘Fake reviews,also known as deceptive opinions,are used to mislead people and have gained more importance recently.This is due to the rapid increase in online marketing transactions,such as selling and purchasing.E-commerce provides a facility for customers to post reviews and comment about the product or service when purchased.New customers usually go through the posted reviews or comments on the website before making a purchase decision.However,the current challenge is how new individuals can distinguish truthful reviews from fake ones,which later deceives customers,inflicts losses,and tarnishes the reputation of companies.The present paper attempts to develop an intelligent system that can detect fake reviews on ecommerce platforms using n-grams of the review text and sentiment scores given by the reviewer.The proposed methodology adopted in this study used a standard fake hotel review dataset for experimenting and data preprocessing methods and a term frequency-Inverse document frequency(TF-IDF)approach for extracting features and their representation.For detection and classification,n-grams of review texts were inputted into the constructed models to be classified as fake or truthful.However,the experiments were carried out using four different supervised machine-learning techniques and were trained and tested on a dataset collected from the Trip Advisor website.The classification results of these experiments showed that na飗e Bayes(NB),support vector machine(SVM),adaptive boosting(AB),and random forest(RF)received 88%,93%,94%,and 95%,respectively,based on testing accuracy and tje F1-score.The obtained results were compared with existing works that used the same dataset,and the proposed methods outperformed the comparable methods in terms of accuracy.
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Following the development of communication techniques and smart devices,the era of Artificial Intelligence(AI)and big data has arrived.The increased connectivity,referred to as hyper-connectivity,has led to the development of smart cities.People in these smart cities can access numerous online contents and are always connected.These developments,however,also lead to a lack of standardization and consistency in the propagation of information throughout communities due to the consumption of information through social media channels.Information cannot often be verified,which can confuse the users.The increasing influence of social media has thus led to the emergence and increasing prevalence of fake news.In this study,we propose a methodology to classify and identify fake news emanating from social channels.We collected content from Twitter to detect fake news and statistically verified that the temporal propagation pattern of quote retweets is effective for the classification of fake news.To verify this,we trained the temporal propagation pattern to a two-phases deep learning model based on convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory.The fake news classifier demonstrates the ability for its early detection.Moreover,it was verified that the temporal propagation pattern was the most influential feature compared to other feature groups discussed in this paper.
文摘The recent advancements made in World Wide Web and social networking have eased the spread of fake news among people at a faster rate.At most of the times,the intention of fake news is to misinform the people and make manipulated societal insights.The spread of low-quality news in social networking sites has a negative influence upon people as well as the society.In order to overcome the ever-increasing dissemination of fake news,automated detection models are developed using Artificial Intelligence(AI)and Machine Learning(ML)methods.The latest advancements in Deep Learning(DL)models and complex Natural Language Processing(NLP)tasks make the former,a significant solution to achieve Fake News Detection(FND).In this background,the current study focuses on design and development of Natural Language Processing with Sea Turtle Foraging Optimizationbased Deep Learning Technique for Fake News Detection and Classification(STODL-FNDC)model.The aim of the proposed STODL-FNDC model is to discriminate fake news from legitimate news in an effectual manner.In the proposed STODL-FNDC model,the input data primarily undergoes pre-processing and Glove-based word embedding.Besides,STODL-FNDC model employs Deep Belief Network(DBN)approach for detection as well as classification of fake news.Finally,STO algorithm is utilized after adjusting the hyperparameters involved in DBN model,in an optimal manner.The novelty of the study lies in the design of STO algorithm with DBN model for FND.In order to improve the detection performance of STODL-FNDC technique,a series of simulations was carried out on benchmark datasets.The experimental outcomes established the better performance of STODL-FNDC approach over other methods with a maximum accuracy of 95.50%.
