Stronger Together? An Ensemble of CNNs for Deepfakes Detection / Starkare Tillsammans? En Ensemble av CNNs för att Identifiera DeepfakesGardner, Angelica January 2020 (has links)
Deepfakes technology is a face swap technique that enables anyone to replace faces in a video, with highly realistic results. Despite its usefulness, if used maliciously, this technique can have a significant impact on society, for instance, through the spreading of fake news or cyberbullying. This makes the ability of deepfakes detection a problem of utmost importance. In this paper, I tackle the problem of deepfakes detection by identifying deepfakes forgeries in video sequences. Inspired by the state-of-the-art, I study the ensembling of different machine learning solutions built on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and use these models as objects for comparison between ensemble and single model performances. Existing work in the research field of deepfakes detection suggests that escalated challenges posed by modern deepfake videos make it increasingly difficult for detection methods. I evaluate that claim by testing the detection performance of four single CNN models as well as six stacked ensembles on three modern deepfakes datasets. I compare various ensemble approaches to combine single models and in what way their predictions should be incorporated into the ensemble output. The results I found was that the best approach for deepfakes detection is to create an ensemble, though, the ensemble approach plays a crucial role in the detection performance. The final proposed solution is an ensemble of all available single models which use the concept of soft (weighted) voting to combine its base-learners’ predictions. Results show that this proposed solution significantly improved deepfakes detection performance and substantially outperformed all single models.
