EnVisu4 improves the usability of analytical tools for detecting image manipulation and has developed a new tool, CheckGIF, which enables the creation of an animated image in GIF format to visually reveal all the manipulations applied to a tampered image.

WeVerify aims to address the complex challenges of verifying content on the web, particularly on social media. It relies on a participatory approach, open-source algorithms, human-centred machine learning, and intuitive visualisations.

Social media and web content are analysed and contextualised within their online ecosystem to expose manipulations across all formats, through social network analysis, targeted debunking, and a public database of known falsehoods.

The WeVerify platform enables collaborative and decentralised verification, monitoring, and debunking of misinformation.

This project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme.
 

The European YouVerify! project aims to tackle the challenges posed by misinformation and to help young people develop both the knowledge and skills needed to distinguish, on a daily basis, between authentic and manipulated images and videos.

YouVerify! builds on the results of the previous European project YouCheck! (2019–2021), which focused on visual literacy through hands-on activities and experimentation. It also adapted the InVID-WeVerify extension—used by thousands of journalists and fact-checkers for verifying photos and videos—for Media and Information Education.

This media and information literacy project received funding from the European Union.

YouCheck! is a media education project funded by the European Union. It aims to raise awareness among the general public, as well as educational and media communities, about misinformation, which poses a real threat to democracy.

This media education project provides European citizens with the means to benefit from the latest advances in image and video verification to tackle fake news.

YouCheck! has adapted the InVID-WeVerify browser extension—already used by thousands of journalists and fact-checkers for verifying photos and videos—for media education purposes.

InVID is a European project funded by the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme.

Launched in January 2016, InVID was a three-year innovation project aimed at helping journalists detect manipulated videos and protect the reputation of media outlets.

InVID operates across three main areas: professional management of usage rights, verification of the integrity of digital files, and contextual verification of images on social media.

ASRAEL is a project focused on the analysis and structuring of media events within information streams, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR).

ASRAEL is an event search engine that allows users to formulate queries (for example, an earthquake, using attribute filters such as location = Turkey and/or magnitude > 7). The project employs natural language processing technologies and semantic web tools.

AFP Transcriber is a tool for transcribing speech from videos in around twenty languages, allowing the text to be synchronised with the images.
