- Title: Fine-Tune Longformer for Jointly Predicting Rumor Stance and Veracity
- Authors: Anant Khandelwal
- Abstract summary: We propose a multi-task learning framework for jointly predicting rumor stance and veracity.
Our framework consists of two parts: a) The bottom part of our framework classifies the stance for each post in the conversation thread discussing a rumor via modelling the multi-turn conversation and make each post aware of its neighboring posts.
Experimental results on SemEval 2019 Task 7 dataset show that our method outperforms previous methods on both rumor stance classification and veracity prediction.

- Abstract: Increased usage of social media caused the popularity of news and events
which are not even verified, resulting in spread of rumors allover the web. Due
to widely available social media platforms and increased usage caused the data
to be available in huge amounts.The manual methods to process such large data
is costly and time-taking, so there has been an increased attention to process
and verify such content automatically for the presence of rumors. A lot of
research studies reveal that to identify the stances of posts in the discussion
thread of such events and news is an important preceding step before identify
the rumor veracity. In this paper,we propose a multi-task learning framework
for jointly predicting rumor stance and veracity on the dataset released at
SemEval 2019 RumorEval: Determining rumor veracity and support for
rumors(SemEval 2019 Task 7), which includes social media rumors stem from a
variety of breaking news stories from Reddit as well as Twit-ter. Our framework
consists of two parts: a) The bottom part of our framework classifies the
stance for each post in the conversation thread discussing a rumor via
modelling the multi-turn conversation and make each post aware of its
neighboring posts. b) The upper part predicts the rumor veracity of the
conversation thread with stance evolution obtained from the bottom part.
Experimental results on SemEval 2019 Task 7 dataset show that our method
outperforms previous methods on both rumor stance classification and veracity
prediction

Structure [7.931904787652709]
We propose a double-channel structure to determine the ex-ante veracity of rumors on social media.
We first assign each text into either certain (informed rumor) or uncertain (uninformed rumor) category.
Then, we apply lie detection algorithm to informed rumors and thread-reply agreement detection algorithm to uninformed rumors.

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 bi-directional graph model, named Bi-Directional Graph Convolutional Networks (Bi-GCN), to explore both characteristics by operating on both top-down and bottom-up propagation of rumors.
It leverages a GCN with a top-down directed graph of rumor spreading to learn the patterns of rumor propagation, and a GCN with an opposite directed graph of rumor diffusion to capture the structures of rumor dispersion.
