• Title: FR-Detect: A Multi-Modal Framework for Early Fake News Detection on Social Media Using Publishers Features
• Authors: Ali Jarrahi and Leila Safari
• Abstract summary: Despite the advantages of these media in the news field, the lack of any control and verification mechanism has led to the spread of fake news. We suggest a high accurate multi-modal framework, namely FR-Detect, using user-related and content-related features with early detection capability. Experiments have shown that the publishers' features can improve the performance of content-based models by up to 13% and 29% in accuracy and F1-score.

• Abstract: In recent years, with the expansion of the Internet and attractive social media infrastructures, people prefer to follow the news through these media. Despite the many advantages of these media in the news field, the lack of any control and verification mechanism has led to the spread of fake news, as one of the most important threats to democracy, economy, journalism and freedom of expression. Designing and using automatic methods to detect fake news on social media has become a significant challenge. In this paper, we examine the publishers' role in detecting fake news on social media. We also suggest a high accurate multi-modal framework, namely FR-Detect, using user-related and content-related features with early detection capability. For this purpose, two new user-related features, namely Activity Credibility and Influence, have been introduced for publishers. Furthermore, a sentence-level convolutional neural network is provided to combine these features with latent textual content features properly. Experimental results have shown that the publishers' features can improve the performance of content-based models by up to 13% and 29% in accuracy and F1-score, respectively.

  We present a novel task, identifying manipulation of news on social media, which aims to detect manipulation in social media posts and identify manipulated or inserted information. To study this task, we have proposed a data collection schema and curated a dataset called ManiTweet, consisting of 3.6K pairs of tweets and corresponding articles. Our analysis demonstrates that this task is highly challenging, with large language models (LLMs) yielding unsatisfactory performance.

  We propose a novel Title-Text similarity and emotion-aware Fake news detection (TieFake) method by jointly modeling the multi-modal context information and the author sentiment. Specifically, we employ BERT and ResNeSt to learn the representations for text and images, and utilize publisher emotion extractor to capture the author's subjective emotion in the news content.

  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.

• Leveraging Multi-Source Weak Social Supervision for Early Detection of Fake News [67.53424807783414]
  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.
