In general, the disclosure describes techniques for obtaining, by a computing system, a content item and a purported source for the content item, wherein the content item may include multimodal data. The techniques may further include generating, by the computing system, a plurality of modality feature vectors representative of the multimodal data, wherein each of the generated modality feature vectors has a different, corresponding modality feature. The techniques may further include mapping, by the computing system, the generated modality feature vectors based on a statistical distribution associated with the purported source. The techniques may further include determining, by the computing system, a score based on the mapping. The techniques may further include outputting, by the computing system and based on the score, an indication of whether the content item originated from the purported source.
