- Abstract: Recently, news consumption using online news portals has increased
exponentially due to several reasons, such as low cost and easy accessibility.
However, such online platforms inadvertently also become the cause of spreading
false information across the web. They are being misused quite frequently as a
medium to disseminate misinformation and hoaxes. Such malpractices call for a
robust automatic fake news detection system that can keep us at bay from such
misinformation and hoaxes. We propose a robust yet simple fake news detection
system, leveraging the tools for paraphrasing, grammar-checking, and
word-embedding. In this paper, we try to the potential of these tools in
jointly unearthing the authenticity of a news article. Notably, we leverage
Spinbot (for paraphrasing), Grammarly (for grammar-checking), and GloVe (for
word-embedding) tools for this purpose. Using these tools, we were able to
extract novel features that could yield state-of-the-art results on the Fake
News AMT dataset and comparable results on Celebrity datasets when combined
with some of the essential features. More importantly, the proposed method is
found to be more robust empirically than the existing ones, as revealed in our
cross-domain analysis and multi-domain analysis.

We study the interplay between machine-(paraphrased) real news, machine-generated fake news, human-written fake news, and human-written real news.
Our experiments reveal an interesting pattern that detectors trained exclusively on human-written articles can indeed perform well at detecting machine-generated fake news, but not vice versa.

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.
