• Abstract: Much research has been done for debunking and analysing fake news. Many researchers study fake news detection in the last year, but many are limited to social media data. Currently, multiples fact-checkers are publishing their results in various formats. Also, multiple fact-checkers use different labels for the fake news, making it difficult to make a generalisable classifier. With the merge classes, the performance of the machine model can be enhanced. This domain categorisation will help group the article, which will help save the manual effort in assigning the claim verification. In this paper, we have presented BERT based classification model to predict the domain and classification. We have also used additional data from fact-checked articles. We have achieved a macro F1 score of 83.76 % for Task 3Aand 85.55 % for Task 3B using the additional training data.

  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 present the outcome of the Factify 2 shared task, which provides a multi-modal fact verification and satire news dataset. The data calls for a comparison based approach to the task by pairing social media claims with supporting documents, with both text and image, divided into 5 classes based on multi-modal relations. The highest F1 score averaged for all five classes was 81.82%.

  Task was posed as a binary classification task, in which the goal is to differentiate between real and fake news. We provided a dataset divided into 900 annotated news articles for training and 400 news articles for testing. 42 teams from 6 different countries (India, China, Egypt, Germany, Pakistan, and the UK) registered for the task.

  The goal of the shared task is to motivate the community to come up with efficient methods for solving this vital problem. The training set contains 1300 annotated news articles -- 750 real news, 550 fake news, while the testing set contains 300 news articles -- 200 real, 100 fake news. The best performing system obtained an F1-macro score of 0.679, which is lower than the past year's best result of 0.907 F1-macro.

  We propose a novel framework for generating training examples informed by the known styles and strategies of human-authored propaganda. Specifically, we perform self-critical sequence training guided by natural language inference to ensure the validity of the generated articles. Our experimental results show that fake news detectors trained on PropaNews are better at detecting human-written disinformation by 3.62 - 7.69% F1 score on two public datasets.

  We propose a novel interpretable fake news detection framework based on the recently introduced Tsetlin Machine (TM) We use the conjunctive clauses of the TM to capture lexical and semantic properties of both true and fake news text. For evaluation, we conduct experiments on two publicly available datasets, PolitiFact and GossipCop, and demonstrate that the TM framework significantly outperforms previously published baselines by at least $5%$ in terms of accuracy.
