Identification of fake content, be it text, image, audio or video, is a hot topic since the rise of modern web and social media. This is because a vast amount of information, some of which could be fake, gets created and shared on these platforms. A wider dissemination of fake information via social media, news sites, and blogs can cause a significant swing to one’s mindset. Although there has been a significant progress in multimedia security and forensics research, the modern web and social media avenues for creation and sharing of multimedia content poses fresh challenges related to fake content identification.
The goal of this workshop is to bring forward recent advances in the area of fake multimedia in terms of its proactive identification and the prevention of spread of such content.
