Idea
A multi-modal deepfake detection platform using pattern-aware reasoning to enhance forensic accuracy for security and media companies.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper presents Veritas, a deepfake detection model that leverages multi-modal large language models with pattern-aware reasoning to replicate human forensic analysis. Unlike prior detectors, it generalizes well to unseen forgery methods and diverse data domains. It is trained and validated on HydraFake, a novel dataset designed to simulate real-world deepfake challenges and hierarchical generalization.
