• Abstract summary: We propose an ensemble model, which performs majority-voting on a collection of predictions by deep neural networks using time-series vector representation of Twitter data for timely detection of rumors. Experimental results show that the classification performance has been improved by 7.9% in terms of micro F1 score compared to the baselines.

• Abstract: Social media is a popular platform for timely information sharing. One of the important challenges for social media platforms like Twitter is whether to trust news shared on them when there is no systematic news verification process. On the other hand, timely detection of rumors is a non-trivial task, given the fast-paced social media environment. In this work, we proposed an ensemble model, which performs majority-voting on a collection of predictions by deep neural networks using time-series vector representation of Twitter data for timely detection of rumors. By combining the proposed data pre-processing method with the ensemble model, better performance of rumor detection has been demonstrated in the experiments using PHEME dataset. Experimental results show that the classification performance has been improved by 7.9% in terms of micro F1 score compared to the baselines.

  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.

  We propose a novel method for building automatic rumour detection system by focusing on oversampling. Our oversampling method relies on contextualised data augmentation to generate synthetic samples for underrepresented classes in the dataset. Two graph neural networks(GNN) are proposed to model non-linear conversations on a thread.

  Temporal Sentence Grounding in Videos (TSGV) aims to ground a natural language sentence in an untrimmed video. Recent studies have found that current benchmark datasets may have obvious moment annotation biases. We introduce a new evaluation metric "dR@n,IoU@m" that discounts the basic recall scores to alleviate the inflating evaluation caused by biased datasets.

• 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.
