Overview

With the modern prevalence of social media, and recent advancements in automated image modifications, determining the authenticity of questionable data is more important than ever before. We have developed methods to address several modalities in this domain, including detection of GANs, adversarial perturbations, and satellite image metadata manipulation. Further works had demonstrated adversarial attacks against these methods, and introduced tools to increase robustness against such attacks.
