  Cheapfake is a recently coined term that encompasses non-AI (``cheap'')
manipulations of multimedia content. Cheapfakes are known to be more prevalent
than deepfakes. Cheapfake media can be created using editing software for
image/video manipulations, or even without using any software, by simply
altering the context of an image/video by sharing the media alongside
misleading claims. This alteration of context is referred to as out-of-context
(OOC) misuse of media. OOC media is much harder to detect than fake media,
since the images and videos are not tampered. In this challenge, we focus on
detecting OOC images, and more specifically the misuse of real photographs with
conflicting image captions in news items. The aim of this challenge is to
develop and benchmark models that can be used to detect whether given samples
(news image and associated captions) are OOC, based on the recently compiled
COSMOS dataset.
