Projects

Deepfake Deduct – AI Deepfake Forensics Toolkit

Built a deepfake detection system using a fully fine-tuned Xception network (~22.9M parameters) trained on ∼49K real and manipulated face crops from FaceForensics++, achieving 98.56% validation accuracy on compressed synthetic media. Developed facial localization and multi-crop inference with confidence heatmaps through a Flask interface, providing face-level forensic predictions for uploaded media.
