Abstract:The fast-spreading information over the internet is essential to support the rapid supply of numerous public utility services and entertainment to users. Social networks and online media paved the way for modern, timely-communication-fashion and convenient access to all types of information. However, it also provides new chances for ill use of the massive amount of available data, such as spreading fake content to manipulate public opinion. Detection of counterfeit content has raised attention in the last few years for the advances in deepfake generation. The rapid growth of machine learning techniques, particularly deep learning, can predict fake content in several application domains, including fake image and video manipulation. This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent studies for deepfake content detection using deep learning-based approaches. We aim to broaden the state-of-the-art research by systematically reviewing the different categories of fake content detection. Furthermore, we report the advantages and drawbacks of the examined works and future directions towards the issues and shortcomings still unsolved on deepfake detection.
