 ABSTRACT

The proliferation of deepfake technology has raised concerns about the spread of
misinformation on social media platforms. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based
approach for detecting deepfake tweets, specifically those generated by machines, to help mitigate
the impact of misinformation online .Our approach leverages Fast Text embeddings to represent
tweet text and combines them with deep learning models for classification. We first preprocess the
tweet text and then use Fast Text embeddings to convert them into dense vector representations.
These embeddings capture semantic information about the tweet content, which is crucial for
distinguishing between genuine and machine-generated tweets. We then feed these embeddings
into a deep learning model, such as a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) or a Long Short-Term
Memory (LSTM) network, to classify the tweets as genuine or machine-generated. The model is
trained on a labeled dataset of tweets, where machine-generated tweets are synthesized using state-
of-the-art text generation models. Experimental results on a real-world dataset of tweets
demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in detecting machine-generated tweets. Our
approach achieves high accuracy and outperforms existing methods for deepfake detection on
social media. Overall, our proposed approach provides a promising solution for identifying
machine-generated tweets and combating the spread of misinformation on social media platforms.

FAST TEXT EMBEDDINGS FOR IDENTIFYING MACHINE-GENERATED TWEETS

1. INTRODUCTION

The rise of deepfake technology has introduced new challenges in

detecting and combating misinformation on social media platforms. Deepfake
refers to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques to
create realistic-looking but fake audio, video, or text content. This technology
has been used to create convincing fake news, hoaxes, and other forms of
misinformation, posing a significant threat to online discourse and public trust.
Detecting deepfake content, especially in text form such as tweets, is challenging
due to the sophistication of the technology and the sheer volume of content
posted on social media platforms. Traditional detection methods often rely on
manual inspection or keyword-based approaches, which are not scalable and
may not be effective against sophisticated deepfake techniques. In this paper, we
propose a deep learning-based approach for detecting deepfake tweets,
specifically those generated by machines. Our approach leverages Fast Text
embeddings, which are capable of capturing semantic information about the
tweet content, and combines them with deep learning models for classification.
The key contributions of our work are as follows We propose a novel approach
for detecting machine-generated tweets using Fast Text embeddings and deep
learning models. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a real-
world dataset of tweets, where machine-generated tweets are synthesized using
state-of-the-art text generation models. We compare our approach with existing
methods for deepfake detection on social media and show that it outperforms
them in terms of accuracy and scalability. The rest of this paper is organized as
follows: In Section 2, we provide an overview of related work in the field of
deepfake detection. In Section 3, we describe our approach in detail, including
the dataset used, the preprocessing steps, and the deep learning models
employed. In Section 4, we present our experimental results and discuss the
implications of our findings. Finally, in Section 5, we conclude the paper and
suggest directions for future research.

2. LITERATURE SURVEY:

In this literature survey, we review key studies and methodologies related

to deepfake detection on social media, with a focus on leveraging deep learning
and Fast Text embeddings for identifying machine-generated tweets. This survey
provides a comprehensive overview of existing research, highlighting the
strengths and limitations of various approaches.

#### 1. Deepfake Detection Techniques

**1.1 Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)**

Generative Adversarial Networks, introduced by Goodfellow et al. (2014), are a
class of machine learning frameworks used to generate realistic data. GANs
consist of two neural networks, a generator and a discriminator, which compete
against each other. The generator creates synthetic data, while the discriminator
attempts to distinguish between real and synthetic data. GANs have been widely
used for creating deepfakes, making their detection a significant challenge.

**1.2 Transformer Models**

Transformer models, such as BERT (Devlin et al., 2019) and GPT (Radford et
al., 2019), have revolutionized natural language processing (NLP) by enabling
better understanding and generation of human-like text. These models leverage
self- attention mechanisms to capture contextual relationships in data, making
them effective for tasks like text classification and generation. Transformer-
based models have been employed for detecting machine-generated text due to
their superior performance in capturing nuanced linguistic patterns.

#### 2. Text Embeddings

**2.1 Word2Vec and GloVe**

Word2Vec (Mikolov et al., 2013) and GloVe (Pennington et al., 2014) are
traditional word embedding techniques that represent words in continuous vector
spaces. These embeddings capture semantic relationships between words, which

FAST TEXT EMBEDDINGS FOR IDENTIFYING MACHINE-GENERATED TWEETS

can be useful for various NLP tasks. However, these models have limitations in
handling out-of-vocabulary words and fail to capture sub word information.

**2.2 Fast Text**

Fast Text, developed by Bojanowski et al. (2017), addresses the limitations of
Word2Vec and Glo Ve by representing words as bags of character n-grams. This
allows Fast Text to capture sub word information and handle rare or misspelled
words more effectively. Fast Text embeddings have shown to improve the
performance of text classification tasks by providing richer representations of
words.

#### 3. Machine-Generated Text Detection

**3.1 Detecting AI-Generated Fake News**

Kumar et al. (2021) explored the use of machine learning models for detecting
AI- generated fake news. They demonstrated that advanced models, when trained
on diverse datasets, could effectively identify fake news articles. Their research
emphasized the importance of using robust training data and sophisticated
models to combat the evolving nature of AI-generated content.

**3.2 Defense Against Neural Fake News**

Zellers et al. (2019) proposed a novel approach for defending against neural fake
news. They developed the GROVER model, which both generates and detects
fake news articles. By leveraging large-scale language models, their method
achieved state-of-the-art results in identifying machine-generated news,
highlighting the potential of transformer-based models in deepfake detection.

#### 4. Social Media and Deepfake Detection

**4.1 Mining Disinformation and Fake News**

Shu et al. (2020) provided a comprehensive review of methods for mining
disinformation and fake news on social media. Their survey covered various
detection techniques, including content-based, social context-based, and hybrid

FAST TEXT EMBEDDINGS FOR IDENTIFYING MACHINE-GENERATED TWEETS

approaches. They highlighted the challenges in detecting disinformation, such as

the dynamic nature of social media and the sophistication of fake content
generation techniques.

**4.2 Limitations and Challenges**

Schuster et al. (2020) discussed the limitations of current neural network models
in modeling human behavior in language. They pointed out that while deep
learning models have achieved significant progress, they still struggle with
capturing the complexity of human language and behavior. This underscores the
need for continuous advancements in model architectures and training techniques
to improve deepfake detection.

#### Conclusion

The literature survey reveals that leveraging deep learning and FastText
embeddings holds significant promise for detecting machine-generated tweets on
social media. Transformer models, in particular, have shown remarkable success
in capturing linguistic patterns and contextual information. However, challenges
remain, such as the need for large-scale and diverse training data, as well as the
ability to adapt to rapidly evolving fake content generation techniques. Future
research should focus on enhancing the robustness and generalizability of
detection models, incorporating multimodal data, and developing real-time
detection systems to effectively combat the spread of deepfakes on social media.

This literature survey provides an in-depth overview of the key research areas
relevant to your study, setting a solid foundation for understanding the current
state of deepfake detection and identifying avenues for future research.

3. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

3.1 EXISTING SYSTEM

Existing systems for detecting deepfake content on social media often

rely on a combination of manual and automated methods. Manual methods
typically involve human moderators reviewing content and flagging suspicious
posts for further investigation. While effective, this approach is time-consuming
and cannot scale to the vast amount of content posted on social media platforms.
Automated methods for deepfake detection often leverage machine learning
techniques, such as natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision, to
analyze the content of posts and identify patterns indicative of deepfake content.
These methods may use features such as the use of specific words or phrases, the
presence of certain visual artifacts, or inconsistencies in the content to flag
potentially fake posts. However, existing automated methods for deepfake
detection face several challenges. For example, they may struggle to distinguish
between genuine and machine-generated content, especially as deepfake
technology becomes more sophisticated. Additionally, these methods may be
prone to false positives, flagging genuine content as fake.
DRAW BACKS :
Existing systems for deepfake detection on social media have several drawbacks:
1. Limited Scalability: Manual methods for deepfake detection, such as human
moderation, are not scalable to the vast amount of content posted on social
media platforms. Automated methods may struggle to keep up with the volume
and speed of content creation.
2. False Positives: Automated methods for deepfake detection may produce false
positives, flagging genuine content as fake. This can lead to unnecessary
censorship and impact freedom of speech.

3.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM

In our proposed system for deepfake detection on social media, we aim

to address the limitations of existing systems by leveraging deep learning and
Fast Text embeddings for identifying machine-generated tweets. The key
components of our proposed system include.
Fast Text Embeddings: We use Fast Text embeddings to represent the text content
of tweets. Fast Text embeddings are capable of capturing semantic information
about the text, which is crucial for distinguishing between genuine and machine-
generated tweets.
Deep Learning Models: We employ deep learning models, such as Convolutional
Neural Networks (CNNs) or Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), to process the
Fast Text embeddings and classify tweets as genuine or machine-generated.
These models are trained on a labeled dataset of tweets, where machine-
generated tweets are synthesized using state-of-the-art text generation models.

ADVANATGES:
Our proposed system for deepfake detection on social media leveraging deep
learning and FastText embeddings offers several advantages over existing
systems:
1. Improved Accuracy: By leveraging deep learning models and FastText
embeddings, our system can achieve higher accuracy in identifying machine-
generated tweets compared to existing methods.
2. Robustness: The use of adversarial training techniques improves the robustness
of our model against adversarial attacks, making it more reliable in real-world
scenarios.
3. Scalability: Our system is designed to be scalable, allowing it to handle large
volumes of tweets posted on social media platforms.

3.6 SYSTEM STUDY

FEASIBILITY STUDY
The feasibility of the project is analyzed in this phase and business proposal is put forth
with a very general plan for the project and some cost estimates. During system analysis
the feasibility study of the proposed system is to be carried out. This is to ensure that the
proposed system is not a burden to the company. For feasibility analysis, some
understanding of the major requirements for the system is essential.

Three key considerations involved in the feasibility analysis are

 ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY

 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

 SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY

This study is carried out to check the economic impact that the system will have on the
organization. The amount of fund that the company can pour into the research and
development of the system is limited. The expenditures must be justified. Thus the
developed system as well within the budget and this was achieved because most of the
technologies used are freely available. Only the customized products had to be
purchased.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

This study is carried out to check the technical feasibility, that is, the technical
requirements of the system. Any system developed must not have a high demand on the
available technical resources. This will lead to high demands on the available technical

Autonomous

resources. This will lead to high demands being placed on the client. The developed

Department of IT, Malla Reddy Engineering College for Women, UGC - 9

Autonomous
 DEEPFAKE DETECTION ON SOCIAL MEDIA: LEVERAGING DEEP LEARNING AND
FAST TEXT EMBEDDINGS FOR IDENTIFYING MACHINE-GENERATED TWEETS

system must have a modest requirement, as only minimal or null changes are required for
implementing this system.

SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

The aspect of study is to check the level of acceptance of the system by the
user. This includes the process of training the user to use the system efficiently. The
user must not feel threatened by the system, instead must accept it as a necessity. The
level of acceptance by the users solely depends on the methods that are employed to
educate the user about the system and to make him familiar with it. His level of
confidence must be raised so that he is also able to make some constructive criticism,
which is welcomed, as he is the final user of the system.

4. SYSTEM DESIGN
4.1 UML DIAGRAMS

UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. UML is a standardized general-

purpose modeling language in the field of object-oriented software engineering. The
standard is managed, and was created by, the Object Management Group.

The goal is for UML to become a common language for creating models of object
oriented computer software. In its current form UML is comprised of two major
components: a Meta-model and a notation. In the future, some form of method or
process may also be added to; or associated with, UML.

The Unified Modeling Language is a standard language for

specifying, Visualization, Constructing and documenting the artifacts of software
system, as well as for business modeling and other non-software systems.

The UML represents a collection of best engineering practices that have proven
successful in the modeling of large and complex systems.

The UML is a very important part of developing objects oriented software and the
software development process. The UML uses mostly graphical notations to express
the design of software projects.

GOALS:
The Primary goals in the design of the UML are as follows:

1. Provide users a ready-to-use, expressive visual modeling Language so that they

can develop and exchange meaningful models.

2. Provide extendibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the core concepts.

3. Be independent of particular programming languages and development process.

4. Provide a formal basis for understanding the modeling language.

5. Encourage the growth of OO tools market.

6. Support higher level development concepts such as collaborations, frameworks,

patterns and components.

USE CASE DIAGRAM:

A use case diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of
behavioral diagram defined by and created from a Use-case analysis. Its purpose is to
present a graphical overview of the functionality provided by a system in terms of
actors, their goals (represented as use cases), and any dependencies between those use
cases. The main purpose of a use case diagram is to show what system functions are
performed for which actor. Roles of the actors in the system can be depicted.

a proposed design:

### Input Design:

1. **Document Submission**: Users input the document(s) they wish to notarize into
the system. This may involve uploading digital copies of the documents through a
secure web interface or providing access to documents stored in cloud storage
platforms.

2. **National eID Card Authentication**: Users authenticate their identity using their
National eID cards, which are equipped with digital signatures and biometric
authentication features. This input ensures that only authorized individuals can access

3. **Document Metadata**: Users may provide metadata associated with the

document(s) being notarized, such as document title, description, purpose, and relevant
timestamps. This metadata helps categorize and organize notarized documents within
the system.

### Output Design:

1. **Notarization Confirmation**: Upon successful authentication and verification,

users receive a confirmation message indicating that their document(s) have been
successfully notarized. This output assures users that their documents have been
authenticated and added to the blockchain ledger.

2. **Digitally Signed Notarization Certificate**: Users receive a digitally signed

notarization certificate for each document notarized through the system. This
certificate includes details such as the document hash, timestamp, notary public's
digital signature, and blockchain transaction ID, providing irrefutable proof of
notarization.

3. **Blockchain Transaction ID**: Users receive a unique transaction ID associated

with each notarization transaction recorded on the blockchain. This ID serves as a
reference for verifying the authenticity and integrity of notarized documents on the
blockchain ledger.

4. **Real-Time Access to Notarization Records**: Users have real-time access to their

notarization records on the blockchain, allowing them to independently verify the
authenticity and integrity of their documents. This output enhances transparency .

5. **Notification Alerts**: Users may receive notification alerts via email or SMS to
inform them of important events related to their notarization transactions, such as
successful notarization, document expiration, or updates to notarization records.

6. **Error Messages and Notifications**: In case of errors or issues during the

notarization process, users receive informative error messages and notifications
guiding them on how to resolve the issue or retry the notarization process.

By designing a user-friendly input and output system for BANS, users can
securely authenticate their documents using National eID cards and blockchain

5. IMPLEMENTATION

5.SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT
What is Python :-

Below are some facts about Python.

Python is currently the most widely used multi-purpose, high-level programming

language.

Python allows programming in Object-Oriented and Procedural paradigms. Python

programs generally are smaller than other programming languages like Java.

Programmers have to type relatively less and indentation requirement of the language,
makes them readable all the time.

Python language is being used by almost all tech-giant companies like – Google,
Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Uber… etc.

The biggest strength of Python is huge collection of standard library which can be used
for the following –

 Machine Learning

 GUI Applications (like Kivy, Tkinter, PyQt etc. )

 Web frameworks like Django (used by YouTube, Instagram, Dropbox)

 Image processing (like Opencv, Pillow)

 Web scraping (like Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, Selenium)

 Test frameworks

 Multimedia

What is Machine Learning : -

Before we take a look at the details of various machine learning methods, let's
start by looking at what machine learning is, and what it isn't. Machine learning is
often categorized as a subfield of artificial intelligence, but I find that categorization
can often be misleading at first brush. The study of machine learning certainly arose
from research in this context, but in the data science application of machine learning
methods, it's more helpful to think of machine learning as a means of building models
of data.

Fundamentally, machine learning involves building mathematical models to help

understand data. "Learning" enters the fray when we give these models tunable
parameters that can be adapted to observed data; in this way the program can be
considered to be "learning" from the data. Once these models have been fit to
previously seen data, they can be used to predict and understand aspects of newly
observed data. I'll leave to the reader the more philosophical digression regarding the
extent to which this type of mathematical, model-based "learning" is similar to the
"learning" exhibited by the human brain.Understanding the problem setting in machine
learning is essential to using these tools effectively, and so we will start with some
broad categorizations of the types of approaches we'll discuss here.

Categories Of Machine Leaning :-

At the most fundamental level, machine learning can be categorized into two main types:
supervised learning and unsupervised learning.

Supervised learning involves somehow modeling the relationship between measured

features of data and some label associated with the data; once this model is
determined, it can be used to apply labels to new, unknown data. This is further
subdivided into classification tasks and regression tasks: in classification, the labels
are discrete categories, while in regression, the labels are continuous quantities. We
will see examples of both types of supervised learning in the following section.

Unsupervised learning involves modeling the features of a dataset without reference to

any label, and is often described as "letting the dataset speak for itself." These models
include tasks such as clustering and dimensionality reduction. Clustering algorithms

Challenges in Machines Learning :-

While Machine Learning is rapidly evolving, making significant strides with
cybersecurity and autonomous cars, this segment of AI as whole still has a long way to
go. The reason behind is that ML has not been able to overcome number of challenges.
The challenges that ML is facing currently are −

Quality of data − Having good-quality data for ML algorithms is one of the biggest
challenges. Use of low-quality data leads to the problems related to data preprocessing
and feature extraction.

Time-Consuming task − Another challenge faced by ML models is the consumption of

time especially for data acquisition, feature extraction and retrieval.

Lack of specialist persons − As ML technology is still in its infancy stage, availability

of expert resources is a tough job.

No clear objective for formulating business problems − Having no clear objective and
well-defined goal for business problems is another key challenge for ML because this
technology is not that mature yet.

Issue of overfitting & underfitting − If the model is overfitting or underfitting, it

cannot be represented well for the problem.

Curse of dimensionality − Another challenge ML model faces is too many features of

data points. This can be a real hindrance.

Difficulty in deployment − Complexity of the ML model makes it quite difficult to be

deployed in real life.

Applications of Machines Learning :-

Machine Learning is the most rapidly growing technology and according to

researchers we are in the golden year of AI and ML. It is used to solve many real-
world complex problems which cannot be solved with traditional approach. Following
are some real-world applications of ML −

 Emotion analysis

 Sentiment analysis

 Error detection and prevention

 Weather forecasting and prediction

 Stock market analysis and forecasting

 Speech synthesis

 Speech recognition

 Customer segmentation

 Object recognition

 Fraud detection

 Fraud prevention

 Recommendation of products to customer in online shopping

Types of Machine Learning

 Supervised Learning – This involves learning from a training dataset with
labeled data using classification and regression models. This learning process
continues until the required level of performance is achieved.

 Unsupervised Learning – This involves using unlabelled data and then finding
the underlying structure in the data in order to learn more and more about the
data .

 Semi-supervised Learning – This involves using unlabelled data like

Unsupervised Learning with a small amount of labeled data. Using labeled data
vastly increases the learning accuracy and is also more cost-effective than
Supervised Learning.

 Reinforcement Learning – This involves learning optimal actions through trial

and error. So the next action is decided by learning behaviors that are based on
the current state and that will maximize the reward in the future.

6. SYSTEM TEST
The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying to
discover every conceivable fault or weakness in a work product. It provides a way to
check the functionality of components, sub assemblies, assemblies and/or a finished
product It is the process of exercising software with the intent of ensuring that the
Software system meets its requirements and user expectations and does not fail in an
unacceptable manner. There are various types of test. Each test type addresses a
specific testing requirement.

TYPES OF TESTS
Unit testing

Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal
program logic is functioning properly, and that program inputs produce valid outputs.
All decision branches and internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of
individual software units of the application .it is done after the completion of an
individual unit before integration. This is a structural testing, that relies on knowledge
of its construction and is invasive. Unit tests perform basic tests at component level
and test a specific business process, application, and/or system configuration. Unit
tests ensure that each unique path of a business process performs accurately to the
documented specifications and contains clearly defined inputs and expected results.

Integration testing

Integration tests are designed to test integrated software components to

determine if they actually run as one program. Testing is event driven and is more
concerned with the basic outcome of screens or fields. Integration tests demonstrate
that although the components were individually satisfaction, as shown by successfully
unit testing, the combination of components is correct and consistent. Integration
testing is specifically aimed at exposing the problems that arise from the combination
of components.

Functional test

Functional tests provide systematic demonstrations that functions tested are

available as specified by the business and technical requirements, system
documentation, and user manuals.

Functional testing is centered on the following items:

Valid Input : identified classes of valid input must be accepted.

Invalid Input : identified classes of invalid input must be

rejected. Functions : identified functions must be exercised.

Output : identified classes of application outputs must be exercised.

Systems/Procedures : interfacing systems or procedures must be invoked.

Organization and preparation of functional tests is focused on

requirements, key functions, or special test cases. In addition, systematic coverage
pertaining to identify Business process flows; data fields, predefined processes, and
successive processes must be considered for testing. Before functional testing is
complete, additional tests are identified and the effective value of current tests is
determined.

System Test

System testing ensures that the entire integrated software system meets
requirements. It tests a configuration to ensure known and predictable results. An
example of system testing is the configuration oriented system integration test. System
testing is based on process descriptions and flows, emphasizing pre-driven process
links and integration points.

White Box Testing

White Box Testing is a testing in which in which the software tester has knowledge of
the inner workings, structure and language of the software, or at least its purpose.

FAST TEXT EMBEDDINGS FOR IDENTIFYING MACHINE-GENERATED TWEETS

Black Box Testing

Black Box Testing is testing the software without any knowledge of the
inner workings, structure or language of the module being tested. Black box tests, as
most other kinds of tests, must be written from a definitive source document, such as
specification or requirements document, such as specification or requirements
document.

Unit Testing

Unit testing is usually conducted as part of a combined code and unit

test phase of the software lifecycle, although it is not uncommon for coding and unit
testing to be conducted as two distinct phases.

Test strategy and approach

Field testing will be performed manually and functional tests will be written in

detail. Features to be tested

 Verify that the entries are of the correct format

 No duplicate entries should be allowed

 All links should take the user to the correct page.

Integration Testing

Software integration testing is the incremental integration testing of two

or more integrated software components on a single platform to produce failures
caused by interface defects.

Test Results :All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects
encountered.

Acceptance Testing

User Acceptance Testing is a critical phase of any project and requires significant
participation by the end user. It also ensures that the system meets the functional
requirements.

Test Results :All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects
encountered.

Conclusion
In this study, we explored the efficacy of deep learning techniques combined
with FastText embeddings to detect machine-generated tweets, commonly known as
deepfakes. Our experimental results demonstrated that this approach could effectively
distinguish between human-generated and machine-generated tweets with high
accuracy.

Key findings of our research include:

1. **Effectiveness of FastText Embeddings**: FastText embeddings provided rich

contextual information that significantly enhanced the performance of our deep learning
models. This suggests that leveraging pre-trained embeddings tailored for specific
domains can improve the detection of deepfakes on social media platforms.

2. **Deep Learning Model Performance**: Among the various deep learning

architectures tested, transformer-based models such as BERT outperformed traditional
methods, showcasing their ability to capture intricate patterns in textual data. This
underscores the importance of using advanced neural networks for complex tasks like
deepfake detection.

3. **Impact on Social Media Integrity**: Implementing such detection systems can

significantly mitigate the spread of misinformation and maintain the integrity of social
media platforms. By identifying and flagging machine-generated content, social media
companies can provide users with more reliable information.

4. **Challenges and Limitations**: Despite the promising results, our approach is not
without limitations. The models require substantial computational resources and may
struggle with the rapid evolution of text generation algorithms. Additionally, adversarial
techniques used to bypass detection mechanisms pose a continuous challenge.
