A person’s face and emotions are deep-faked in a video or speech and are substituted with a different face or voice employing deep learning to analyze speech or emotional content. Because of how clever these videos are frequently, Manipulation is challenging to spot. Social media are the most frequent and dangerous targets since they are weak outlets that are open to extortion or slander a human. In earlier times, it was not so easy to alter the videos, which required expertise in the domain and time. Nowadays, the generation of fake videos has become easier and with a high level of realism in the video. Deepfakes are forgeries and altered visual data that appear in still photos or video footage. Numerous automatic identification systems have been developed to solve this issue, however they are constrained to certain datasets and perform poorly when applied to different datasets. This study aims to develop an ensemble learning model utilizing a convolutional neural network (CNN) to handle deepfakes or Face2Face. We employed ensemble learning, a technique combining many classifiers to achieve higher prediction performance than a single classifier, boosting the model’s accuracy. The performance of the generated model is evaluated on Face Forensics. This work is about building a new powerful model for automatically identifying deep fake videos with the DeepFake-Detection-Challenges (DFDC) dataset. We test our model using the DFDC, one of the most difficult datasets and get an accuracy of 96%.}, DOI = {10.32604/cmc.2023.034482} }
