• Authors: Yi-Ju Lu and Cheng-Te Li
• Abstract summary: Given the source short-text tweet and the corresponding sequence of retweet users without text comments, we aim at predicting whether the source tweet is fake or not. We develop a novel neural network-based model, Graph-aware Co-Attention Networks (GCAN), to achieve the goal.

• Abstract: This paper solves the fake news detection problem under a more realistic scenario on social media. Given the source short-text tweet and the corresponding sequence of retweet users without text comments, we aim at predicting whether the source tweet is fake or not, and generating explanation by highlighting the evidences on suspicious retweeters and the words they concern. We develop a novel neural network-based model, Graph-aware Co-Attention Networks (GCAN), to achieve the goal. Extensive experiments conducted on real tweet datasets exhibit that GCAN can significantly outperform state-of-the-art methods by 16% in accuracy on average. In addition, the case studies also show that GCAN can produce reasonable explanations.

  We present a novel task, identifying manipulation of news on social media, which aims to detect manipulation in social media posts and identify manipulated or inserted information. To study this task, we have proposed a data collection schema and curated a dataset called ManiTweet, consisting of 3.6K pairs of tweets and corresponding articles. Our analysis demonstrates that this task is highly challenging, with large language models (LLMs) yielding unsatisfactory performance.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have boosted the performance for many graph-related tasks. Recent studies have shown that GNNs are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks, where adversaries can mislead the GNNs' prediction by modifying graphs. We propose a novel attack framework (GEAttack) which can attack both a GNN model and its explanations by simultaneously exploiting their vulnerabilities.

• Leveraging Multi-Source Weak Social Supervision for Early Detection of Fake News [67.53424807783414]
  Social media has greatly enabled people to participate in online activities at an unprecedented rate. This unrestricted access also exacerbates the spread of misinformation and fake news online which might cause confusion and chaos unless being detected early for its mitigation. We jointly leverage the limited amount of clean data along with weak signals from social engagements to train deep neural networks in a meta-learning framework to estimate the quality of different weak instances. Experiments on realworld datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art baselines for early detection of fake news without using any user engagements at prediction time.
