Now, a US Research Project to Detect Fake Media Products
September 11, 2019 @ 11:00 AMRecognizing the havoc caused by public dissemination of fake information, the US Defense Advanced Research projects Agency (DARPA) has announced the Semantic Forensics (SemaFor) program to develop technologies that make the automatic detection, attribution, and characterization of falsified media assets a reality. The goal of SemaFor is to develop a suite of semantic analysis algorithms that dramatically increase the burden on the creators of falsified media, making it exceedingly difficult for them to create compelling manipulated content that goes undetected
