- Abstract summary: We propose a novel framework for predicting the factuality of reporting of news media outlets by studying the user attention cycles in their YouTube channels.
In particular, we design a rich set of features derived from the temporal evolution of the number of views, likes, dislikes, and comments for a video, which we then aggregate to the channel level.

- Abstract: We propose a novel framework for predicting the factuality of reporting of
news media outlets by studying the user attention cycles in their YouTube
channels. In particular, we design a rich set of features derived from the
temporal evolution of the number of views, likes, dislikes, and comments for a
video, which we then aggregate to the channel level. We develop and release a
dataset for the task, containing observations of user attention on YouTube
channels for 489 news media. Our experiments demonstrate both complementarity
and sizable improvements over state-of-the-art textual representations.

We propose verbalizing long videos to generate descriptions in natural language, then performing video-understanding tasks on the generated story as opposed to the original video.
Our method, despite being zero-shot, achieves significantly better results than supervised baselines for video understanding.
To alleviate a lack of story understanding benchmarks, we publicly release the first dataset on a crucial task in computational social science on persuasion strategy identification.

This study delves into the potential of TikTok and YouTube, two widely used social media platforms that focus on video content.
We evaluated the prospect of videos as a source of user feedback by analyzing audio and visual text, and metadata (i.e., description/title) from 6276 videos of 20 popular products across various industries.
We found that product ratings (feature, design, performance), bug reports, and usage tutorial are persistent themes from the videos.

We propose a deep-learning based approach that is diffusion and influence-aware, called Influence-Graph News Recommender (IGNiteR)
To represent the news, a multi-level attention-based encoder is used to reveal the different interests of users.
We perform extensive experiments on two real-world datasets, showing that IGNiteR outperforms the state-of-the-art deep-learning based news recommendation methods.
