DeepTrace — South Asia Deepfake Detection

Annotation guidelines and benchmarks for AI-generated visual content led by Prof. Dilrukshi Gamage

A volunteer research contribution to DeepTrace, a project on deepfake detection in South Asian contexts (November 2025 – January 2026).

I worked togther with Team establish annotation guidelines and benchmarks for AI-generated visual content and deepfake detection, and contributed to the design of the dataset-collection interface. The work addresses a persistent gap in detection research: most benchmarks under-represent South Asian faces, languages, and visual contexts.
