We released today a new version v0.82 of our verification plugin (@InVID_EU @WeVerify @veraai_eu) with enhanced layout and improvement of synthetic image detection (using @meverteam near duplicate search to enhance results on degraded copies or screenshots of synthetic images)

#MedDMO landed today at... the headquarters of the journalists in #Athens, enjoying a full house! Together with the Journalists Union of Athens Daily Newspapers and the Greek National Council for Radio and Television, we co-organized an information day on the effects of disinformation. @nikossarris spoke about the work of #EDMO and the local observatories in addressing the problem, specifically referring to media literacy actions and irregularity detection tools. The presence of students is an encouraging sign for the future of defending a healthy information environment in #Greece, #Cyprus and #Malta!

We're testing two new features today: our image editor for uploaded images and image re-texturing for exploring materials, surfacing, and lighting. Everything works with all our advanced features, such as style references, character references, and personalized models

Annalisa Verdoliva and @sympap recently spoke at an @EBU_HQ webinar and talked about synthetic image detection. They also showcased their research that aims to counter just that (#disinformation and #syntheticmedia detection). View the recording here. 👇 veraai.eu/posts/ebu-webi…
