- Abstract: Fake news detection is a very prominent and essential task in the field of
journalism. This challenging problem is seen so far in the field of politics,
but it could be even more challenging when it is to be determined in the
multi-domain platform. In this paper, we propose two effective models based on
deep learning for solving fake news detection problem in online news contents
of multiple domains. We evaluate our techniques on the two recently released
datasets, namely FakeNews AMT and Celebrity for fake news detection. The
proposed systems yield encouraging performance, outperforming the current
handcrafted feature engineering based state-of-the-art system with a
significant margin of 3.08% and 9.3% by the two models, respectively. In order
to exploit the datasets, available for the related tasks, we perform
cross-domain analysis (i.e. model trained on FakeNews AMT and tested on
Celebrity and vice versa) to explore the applicability of our systems across
the domains.

Large language or multimodal model based verification has been proposed to scale up online policing mechanisms for mitigating spread of false and harmful content.
We test the limits of improving foundation model performance without continual updating through an initial study of knowledge transfer.
Our results on two recent multi-modal fact-checking benchmarks, Mocheg and Fakeddit, indicate that knowledge transfer strategies can improve Fakeddit performance over the state-of-the-art by up to 1.7% and Mocheg performance by up to 2.9%.

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.
