learning-based techniques are being utilized to generate hyper-realistic manipulated
facial multimedia contents, known as DeepFakes. While such technologies have
positive potentials for entertainment applications, malevolent use can harm
citizens and the society at large by constructing indecent content, spreading
fake news to subvert elections or undermine politics, bullying people and
ameliorating social engineering to perpetrate financial frauds. In fact, it has
been shown that manipulated facial multimedia contents not only can deceive the
humans but also automated face recognition based biometric systems. Advent of
advanced hardware, powerful smart devices, user-friendly apps (e.g., FaceApp,
ZAO) and open-source ML codes (e.g., Generative Adversarial Networks) <span style="color:black">have enabled even non-experts to </span>effortlessly<span style="color:black"> create </span>manipulated facial multimedia contents. In
principle, face manipulation involves swapping two faces, modifying facial
attributes (e.g., age and gender), morphing two different faces into one face,
adding imperceptible perturbations (i.e., adversarial examples), synthetically
generating faces, or animating/reenacting facial expressions in the face
images/videos.</span></p>
