- Authors: Xumeng Chen, Leo Yu-Ho Lo, Huamin Qu
- Abstract summary: We present SirenLess, a visual analytical system for misleading news detection by linguistic features.
The system features article explorer, a novel interactive tool that integrates news metadata and linguistic features to reveal semantic structures of news articles.
We use SirenLess to analyze 18 news articles from different sources and summarize some helpful patterns for misleading news detection.

- Abstract: News articles tend to be increasingly misleading nowadays, preventing readers
from making subjective judgments towards certain events. While some machine
learning approaches have been proposed to detect misleading news, most of them
are black boxes that provide limited help for humans in decision making. In
this paper, we present SirenLess, a visual analytical system for misleading
news detection by linguistic features. The system features article explorer, a
novel interactive tool that integrates news metadata and linguistic features to
reveal semantic structures of news articles and facilitate textual analysis. We
use SirenLess to analyze 18 news articles from different sources and summarize
some helpful patterns for misleading news detection. A user study with
journalism professionals and university students is conducted to confirm the
usefulness and effectiveness of our system.

We study the interplay between machine-(paraphrased) real news, machine-generated fake news, human-written fake news, and human-written real news.
Our experiments reveal an interesting pattern that detectors trained exclusively on human-written articles can indeed perform well at detecting machine-generated fake news, but not vice versa.

We present NEWSSENSE, a novel sensemaking tool and reading interface designed to collect and integrate information from multiple news articles on a central topic.
NEWSSENSE augments a central, grounding article of the user's choice by linking it to related articles from different sources.
Our pilot study shows that NEWSSENSE has the potential to help users identify key information, verify the credibility of news articles, and explore different perspectives.

We propose a formalism for understanding how readers perceive the reliability of news and the impact of misinformation.
We introduce the Misinfo Belief Frames (MBF) corpus, a dataset of 66k inferences over 23.5k headlines.
Our results using large-scale language modeling to predict misinformation frames show that machine-generated inferences can influence readers' trust in news headlines.

We propose an evidence retrieval approach to handle fake news.
The learning task is formulated as an unsupervised machine learning problem.
We find that our approach is agnostic to concept drifts, i.e. the machine learning task is independent of the hypotheses in a text.
