This episode is all about deep fakes. It is getting more difficult everyday to tell what is real and what is fake, especially on social media and even on TV networks. In this episode we will explore, the war thats raging between creation and detection of deep fakes. So what exactly is a deep fake. Joining us to answer that question is Dr. Ilke Demir. She’s on the front lines of this battle.
Dr. Demir is a curious research scientist, working on topics in 3D vision, computational geometry, generative models, remote sensing, and deep learning. She earned my Ph.D. from Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, working under supervision of Daniel Aliaga. She later joined Facebook as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to work with Ramesh Raskar. After some groundbreaking projects, she left to pursue a startup path, which ended with an acquisition. That next led her to find her research heaven in the world's largest volumetric capture stage at Intel Studios.
