- Abstract summary: We propose a novel framework that jointly preserves domain-specific and cross-domain knowledge in news records to detect fake news from different domains.
Our experiments show that the integration of the proposed fake news model and the selective annotation approach achieves state-of-the-art performance for cross-domain news datasets.

- Abstract: With the rapid evolution of social media, fake news has become a significant
social problem, which cannot be addressed in a timely manner using manual
investigation. This has motivated numerous studies on automating fake news
detection. Most studies explore supervised training models with different
modalities (e.g., text, images, and propagation networks) of news records to
identify fake news. However, the performance of such techniques generally drops
if news records are coming from different domains (e.g., politics,
entertainment), especially for domains that are unseen or rarely-seen during
training. As motivation, we empirically show that news records from different
domains have significantly different word usage and propagation patterns.
Furthermore, due to the sheer volume of unlabelled news records, it is
challenging to select news records for manual labelling so that the
domain-coverage of the labelled dataset is maximized. Hence, this work: (1)
proposes a novel framework that jointly preserves domain-specific and
cross-domain knowledge in news records to detect fake news from different
domains; and (2) introduces an unsupervised technique to select a set of
unlabelled informative news records for manual labelling, which can be
ultimately used to train a fake news detection model that performs well for
many domains while minimizing the labelling cost. Our experiments show that the
integration of the proposed fake news model and the selective annotation
approach achieves state-of-the-art performance for cross-domain news datasets,
while yielding notable improvements for rarely-appearing domains in news
datasets.
