Abstract
Deepfake videos are increasingly challenging the credibility of online content. Many existing detection methodology relies on complex, resource-intensive models, which limit their practical use. The study introduces the ExpSpeech-Net deepfake detection (SqN-R-DFD) model, which utilizes SqueezeNet and RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) as its backbone, providing a lightweight and efficient deepfake detection framework that simultaneously analyzes facial expressions and speech patterns. The approach incorporates advanced feature extraction, such as ISLBT-based features for image and MPNCC for signals, along with a smart feature-selection strategy using SASMA (Sandpiper-Assisted Slime Mould Algorithm), ensuring optimal and balanced input to the detection models. By combining SqueezeNet and an RNN, subtle inconsistencies in deepfake videos are captured effectively. The framework achieves 94.5% accuracy, precision of 99.3%, and F-measure of 96.8%, outperforming conventional methods. This demonstrates that integrating multiple modalities with intelligent preprocessing and feature selection enables practical, real-time deepfake detection suitable for everyday applications.
