• Title: FakeCovid -- A Multilingual Cross-domain Fact Check News Dataset for COVID-19
• Authors: Gautam Kishore Shahi, Durgesh Nandini
• Abstract summary: We present a first multilingual cross-domain dataset of 5182 fact-checked news articles for COVID-19. We have collected the fact-checked articles from 92 different fact-checking websites after obtaining references from Poynter and Snopes. The dataset is in 40 languages from 105 countries.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present a first multilingual cross-domain dataset of 5182 fact-checked news articles for COVID-19, collected from 04/01/2020 to 15/05/2020. We have collected the fact-checked articles from 92 different fact-checking websites after obtaining references from Poynter and Snopes. We have manually annotated articles into 11 different categories of the fact-checked news according to their content. The dataset is in 40 languages from 105 countries. We have built a classifier to detect fake news and present results for the automatic fake news detection and its class. Our model achieves an F1 score of 0.76 to detect the false class and other fact check articles. The FakeCovid dataset is available at Github.

  This paper gives the overview of the first shared task at FIRE 2020 on fake news detection in the Urdu language. The goal is to identify fake news using a dataset composed of 900 annotated news articles for training and 400 news articles for testing. The dataset contains news in five domains: (i) Health, (ii) Sports, (iii) Showbiz, (iv) Technology, and (v) Business.

  The goal of the shared task is to motivate the community to come up with efficient methods for solving this vital problem. The training set contains 1300 annotated news articles -- 750 real news, 550 fake news, while the testing set contains 300 news articles -- 200 real, 100 fake news. The best performing system obtained an F1-macro score of 0.679, which is lower than the past year's best result of 0.907 F1-macro.

  We make the first attempt to detect COVID-19 misinformation in a low-resource language (Chinese) only using the fact-checked news in a high-resource language (English) We propose a deep learning framework named CrossFake to jointly encode the cross-lingual news body texts and capture the news content. Empirical results on our dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of CrossFake under the cross-lingual setting.
