Irish-Accented English Audio-Visual Deepfake Datasets with Deep Packet Inspection-Inspired Media Integrity Validation
摘要
Deepfakes pose growing risks to cybersecurity, social engineering, and media integrity, yet existing public datasets provide limited coverage of underrepresented English accents and synchronised audio–visual content. To address this gap, we present IrishAV-Deepfake, two Irish-accented English deepfake datasets designed for multimodal deepfake detection research. The collection includes synchronised audio–video and corresponding audio-only datasets containing both authentic and synthetically generated samples. Authentic Irish-accented media were retrieved from publicly available sources using Irish-related metadata and manually verified through auditory inspection and speaker/source context review. Synthetic audio samples were generated using Google Text-to-Speech and Hugging Face Parler-TTS with Irish-accent-oriented settings, while synthetic video samples were created using a prompt-based text-to-video workflow. All media files underwent DPI-inspired file-level integrity validation, including file signature verification, format checks, size constraints, and metadata consistency checks. The datasets contain balanced real and fake partitions with gender annotations to support robustness, bias, and generalisation studies. All data, code, and documentation are publicly released to support reproducibility and downstream experimentation.
