- Authors: Martins Samuel Dogo, Deepak P, Anna Jurek-Loughrey
- Abstract summary: This study explores the use of topic models to analyze the coherence of cross-domain news shared online.
Experimental results on seven cross-domain datasets demonstrate that fake news shows a greater thematic deviation between its opening sentences and its remainder.

- Abstract: The spread of fake news remains a serious global issue; understanding and
curtailing it is paramount. One way of differentiating between deceptive and
truthful stories is by analyzing their coherence. This study explores the use
of topic models to analyze the coherence of cross-domain news shared online.
Experimental results on seven cross-domain datasets demonstrate that fake news
shows a greater thematic deviation between its opening sentences and its
remainder.

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 build a six-year dataset on the Italian vaccine debate and adopt a Bayesian latent space model to identify narrative and selection biases.
We found a nonlinear relationship between biases and engagement, with higher engagement for extreme positions.

We propose to leverage a hypergraph to represent group-wise interaction among news, while focusing on important news relations with its dual-level attention mechanism.
Our approach yields remarkable performance and maintains the high performance even with a small subset of labeled news data.

We propose an evidence retrieval approach to handle fake news.
The learning task is formulated as an unsupervised machine learning problem.
We find that our approach is agnostic to concept drifts, i.e. the machine learning task is independent of the hypotheses in a text.

This research investigates the effects of an Explainable AI assistant embedded in news review platforms for combating the propagation of fake news.
We design a news reviewing and sharing interface, create a dataset of news stories, and train four interpretable fake news detection algorithms.
For a deeper understanding of Explainable AI systems, we discuss interactions between user engagement, mental model, trust, and performance measures in the process of explaining.

We propose a new method to detect fake news based on its text, images, or their "mismatches"
Such representations of news textual and visual information along with their relationship are jointly learned and used to predict fake news.
We conduct extensive experiments on large-scale real-world data, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
