• Abstract summary: We propose KCD, a political perspective detection approach to enable multi-hop knowledge reasoning. Specifically, we generate random walks on external knowledge graphs and infuse them with news text representations. We then construct a heterogeneous information network to jointly model news content as well as semantic, syntactic and entity cues in news articles.

• Abstract: Political perspective detection has become an increasingly important task that can help combat echo chambers and political polarization. Previous approaches generally focus on leveraging textual content to identify stances, while they fail to reason with background knowledge or leverage the rich semantic and syntactic textual labels in news articles. In light of these limitations, we propose KCD, a political perspective detection approach to enable multi-hop knowledge reasoning and incorporate textual cues as paragraph-level labels. Specifically, we firstly generate random walks on external knowledge graphs and infuse them with news text representations. We then construct a heterogeneous information network to jointly model news content as well as semantic, syntactic and entity cues in news articles. Finally, we adopt relational graph neural networks for graph-level representation learning and conduct political perspective detection. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods on two benchmark datasets. We further examine the effect of knowledge walks and textual cues and how they contribute to our approach's data efficiency.

  "Prompt-and-Align" (P&A) is a novel prompt-based paradigm for few-shot fake news detection. We show that P&A sets new states-of-the-art for few-shot fake news detection performance by significant margins.

  We propose to automatically convert background knowledge documents into document semantic graphs. Our document semantic graphs preserve sentence-level information through the use of sentence nodes and provide concept connections between sentences. Our experiments show that our semantic graph-based knowledge selection improves over sentence selection baselines for both the knowledge selection task and the end-to-end response generation task on HollE.

  We propose an extension of this task, where the goal is to predict the logical relationship of fine-grained knowledge elements within a piece of text to an image. Unlike prior work, our method is inherently explainable and makes logical predictions at different levels of granularity. We evaluate our method on a new dataset of manually annotated knowledge elements and show that our method achieves 68.18% accuracy at this challenging task.

  Informational bias can only be detected together with the context. In this paper, we integrate three levels of context to detect the sentence-level informational bias in English news articles. Our model, MultiCTX, uses contrastive learning and sentence graphs together with Graph Attention Network (GAT) to encode these three degrees of context.

Experiments on three popular ABSA benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our KGAN.

  We propose a novel NLP task of identifying directed sentiment relationship between political entities from a given news document. From a million-scale news corpus, we construct a dataset of news sentences where sentiment relations of political entities are manually annotated. We demonstrate the utility of our proposed method for social science research questions by analyzing positive and negative opinions between political entities in two major events: 2016 U.S. presidential election and COVID-19.
