Fake News Detection in Social Media: Hybrid Deep Learning Approaches

Journal of Advances in Information Technology

Social media refers to communication channels on Internet that enable the creation and publication of content generated by the user and interaction between users. Given the accessibility to these means of communication and their rapidity, people resort more to them comparatively to the traditional media including radio, television and newspapers. However, dubious pieces of information such as fake news are often disseminated for malicious purposes. The proliferation of fake news has a strong negative impact on a society such as damage to the reputation of a personality, an organization or the aggravation of conflicts between its members. Due to the proliferation of fake news on these websites, the notion of veracity of information becomes a crucial issue. Research based on machine learning is promising. However, one of the main limitations is the efficiency of predictions. As a solution to detect fake news, we have proposed two models based on hybrid deep learning and evaluated our models on the two real datasets, namely ISOT and FAKES. An experience of the proposed models to detect fake news, allowed to obtain on ISOT an accuracy of 99% for both models and on FAKES , we obtain an accuracy of 68% for one the models and an accuracy of 63% for other. Other experiments in generalizing models on these data sets have proposed. The results obtained are better than other machine learning models.

Study of Deep Learning Methods f or Fingerprint Recognition

International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE), 2021

Biometric systems aim to reliably identify and authenticate an individual using physiological or behavioral characteristics. Traditional systems such as the use of access cards, passwords have shown limitations such as forgotten passwords, stolen cards, etc. As an alternative, biometric systems present themselves as efficient systems with a high reliability due to the physiological characteristics of each individual. This paper focuses on a deep learning method for fingerprint recognition. The described architecture uses a pre-processing phase in which grayscale images are represented on the RGB bands and then merged to obtain color images. On the obtained color images will be extracted the characteristics of the fingerprints textures.The fingerprint images after preprocessing are used in a deep convolution network system for decision making. The method is robust with an accuracy of over 99.43% and 99.53% with the respective variants densenet-201 and ResNet-50.

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE)

Face analysis is an essential topic in computer vision that dealing with human faces for recognition or prediction tasks. The face is one of the easiest ways to distinguish the identity people. Face recognition is a type of personal identification system that employs a person’s personal traits to determine their identity. Human face recognition scheme generally consists of four steps, namely face detection, alignment, representation, and verification. In this paper, we propose to extract information from human face for several tasks based on recent advanced deep learning framework. The proposed approach outperforms the results in the state-of-the-art.

Predicting image credibility in fake news over social media using multi-modal approach

Neural Computing and Applications, 2021

Social media are the main contributors to spreading fake images. Fake images are manipulated images altered through software or by other means to change the information they convey. Fake images propagated over microblogging platforms generate misrepresentation and stimulate polarization in the people. Detection of fake images shared over social platforms is extremely critical to mitigating its spread. Fake images are often associated with textual data. Hence, a multi-modal framework is employed utilizing visual and textual feature learning. However, few multi-modal frameworks are already proposed; they are further dependent on additional tasks to learn the correlation between modalities. In this paper, an efficient multi-modal approach is proposed, which detects fake images of microblogging platforms. No further additional subcomponents are required. The proposed framework utilizes explicit convolution neural network model EfficientNetB0 for images and sentence transformer for text analysis. The feature embedding from visual and text is passed through dense layers and later fused to predict fake images. To validate the effectiveness, the proposed model is tested upon a publicly available microblogging dataset, MediaEval (Twitter) and Weibo, where the accuracy prediction of 85.3% and 81.2% is observed, respectively. The model is also verified against the newly created latest Twitter dataset containing images based on India's significant events in 2020. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed model performs better than other state-of-art multi-modal frameworks.

Extraction of image resampling using correlation aware convolution neural networks for image tampering detection

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2022

Detecting hybrid tampering attacks in an image is extremely difficult; especially when copy-clone tampered segments exhibit identical illumination and contrast level about genuine objects. The existing method fails to detect tampering when the image undergoes hybrid transformation such as scaling, rotation, compression, and also fails to detect under smallsmooth tampering. The existing resampling feature extraction using the Deep learning techniques fails to obtain a good correlation among neighboring pixels in both horizontal and vertical directions. This work presents correlation aware convolution neural network (CA-CNN) for extracting resampling features for detecting hybrid tampering attacks. Here the image is resized for detecting tampering under a small-smooth region. The CA-CNN is composed of a three-layer horizontal, vertical, and correlated layer. The correlated layer is used for obtaining correlated resampling feature among horizontal sequence and vertical sequence. Then feature is aggregated and the descriptor is built. An experiment is conducted to evaluate the performance of the CA-CNN model over existing tampering detection methodologies considering the various datasets. From the result achieved it can be seen the CA-CNN is efficient considering various distortions and post-processing attacks such joint photographic expert group (JPEG) compression, and scaling. This model achieves much better accuracies, recall, precision, false positive rate (FPR), and F-measure compared existing methodologies.

Pedestrian classification on transfer learning based deep convolutional neural network for partial occlusion handling

International Journal of Power Electronics and Drive Systems, 2023

The investigation of a deep neural network for pedestrian classification using transfer learning methods is proposed in this study. The development of deep convolutional neural networks has significantly improved the autonomous driver assistance system for pedestrian classification. However, the presence of partially occluded parts and the appearance variation under complex scenes are still robust to challenge in the pedestrian detection system. To address this problem, we proposed six transfer learning models: end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) model, scratch-trained residual network (ResNet50) model, and four transfer learning models: visual geometry group 16 (VGG16), GoogLeNet (InceptionV3), ResNet50, and MobileNet. The performance of the pedestrian classification was evaluated using four publicly datasets:
