- Title: Early Detection of Fake News by Utilizing the Credibility of News,
Publishers, and Users Based on Weakly Supervised Learning

- Abstract summary: We propose a novel Structure-aware Multi-head Attention Network (SMAN), which combines the news content, publishing, and reposting relations of publishers and users.
SMAN can detect fake news in 4 hours with an accuracy of over 91%, which is much faster than the state-of-the-art models.

- Abstract: The dissemination of fake news significantly affects personal reputation and
public trust. Recently, fake news detection has attracted tremendous attention,
and previous studies mainly focused on finding clues from news content or
diffusion path. However, the required features of previous models are often
unavailable or insufficient in early detection scenarios, resulting in poor
performance. Thus, early fake news detection remains a tough challenge.
Intuitively, the news from trusted and authoritative sources or shared by many
users with a good reputation is more reliable than other news. Using the
credibility of publishers and users as prior weakly supervised information, we
can quickly locate fake news in massive news and detect them in the early
stages of dissemination.
In this paper, we propose a novel Structure-aware Multi-head Attention
Network (SMAN), which combines the news content, publishing, and reposting
relations of publishers and users, to jointly optimize the fake news detection
and credibility prediction tasks. In this way, we can explicitly exploit the
credibility of publishers and users for early fake news detection. We conducted
experiments on three real-world datasets, and the results show that SMAN can
detect fake news in 4 hours with an accuracy of over 91%, which is much faster
than the state-of-the-art models.

We introduce VeraCT Scan, a novel retrieval-augmented system for fake news detection.
This system operates by extracting the core facts from a given piece of news and subsequently conducting an internet-wide search to identify corroborating or conflicting reports.
We also provide transparent evidence and reasoning to support its conclusions, resulting in the interpretability and trust in the results.

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.

We argue that it is critical to understand what user attributes potentially cause users to share fake news.
In fake news dissemination, confounders can be characterized by fake news sharing behavior that inherently relates to user attributes and online activities.
We propose a principled approach to alleviating selection bias in fake news dissemination.

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.
