AbstractThis paper aims to address the problem of Deepfake Detection using a Two-Stream Capsule Network. First we review methods used to create Deepfake content, as well as methods proposed in the literature to detect such Deepfake content. We then propose a novel architecture to detect Deepfakes, which consists of a two-stream Capsule network running in parallel that takes in both RGB images/frames as well as Error Level Analysis images. Results show that the proposed approach exhibits the detection accuracy of 73.39 % and 57.45 % for the Deepfake Detection Challenge (DFDC) and the Celeb-DF datasets respectively. These results are, however, from a preliminary implementation of the proposed approach. As part of future work, population-based optimization techniques such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) will be used to tune the hyper parameters for better performance.
