• Abstract summary: We propose GAME-ON, a Graph Neural Network based end-to-end trainable framework to learn more robust data representations for multimodal fake news detection. Our model outperforms on Twitter by an average of 11% and keeps competitive performance on Weibo, within a 2.6% margin, while using 65% fewer parameters than the best comparable state-of-the-art baseline.

• Abstract: Social media in present times has a significant and growing influence. Fake news being spread on these platforms have a disruptive and damaging impact on our lives. Furthermore, as multimedia content improves the visibility of posts more than text data, it has been observed that often multimedia is being used for creating fake content. A plethora of previous multimodal-based work has tried to address the problem of modeling heterogeneous modalities in identifying fake content. However, these works have the following limitations: (1) inefficient encoding of inter-modal relations by utilizing a simple concatenation operator on the modalities at a later stage in a model, which might result in information loss; (2) training very deep neural networks with a disproportionate number of parameters on small but complex real-life multimodal datasets result in higher chances of overfitting. To address these limitations, we propose GAME-ON, a Graph Neural Network based end-to-end trainable framework that allows granular interactions within and across different modalities to learn more robust data representations for multimodal fake news detection. We use two publicly available fake news datasets, Twitter and Weibo, for evaluations. Our model outperforms on Twitter by an average of 11% and keeps competitive performance on Weibo, within a 2.6% margin, while using 65% fewer parameters than the best comparable state-of-the-art baseline.

  Multi-modal crowd counting involves estimating crowd density from both visual and thermal/depth images. We propose a novel approach by introducing an auxiliary broker modality and frame the task as a triple-modal learning problem. We devise a fusion-based method to generate this broker modality, leveraging a non-diffusion, lightweight counterpart of modern denoising diffusion-based fusion models.

  Large language or multimodal model based verification has been proposed to scale up online policing mechanisms for mitigating spread of false and harmful content. We test the limits of improving foundation model performance without continual updating through an initial study of knowledge transfer. Our results on two recent multi-modal fact-checking benchmarks, Mocheg and Fakeddit, indicate that knowledge transfer strategies can improve Fakeddit performance over the state-of-the-art by up to 1.7% and Mocheg performance by up to 2.9%.

  We propose GraMuFeN, a model designed to detect fake content by analyzing both the textual and image content of news. GraMuFeN comprises two primary components: a text encoder and an image encoder. For textual analysis, GraMuFeN treats each text as a graph and employs a Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCN) as the text encoder.
