• Authors: Prabhav Singh, Ridam Srivastava, K.P.S. Rana, Vineet Kumar
• Abstract summary: It has become imperative to identify fake news faster and more accurately. SEMI-FND offers an overall parameter reduction of at least 20% with unimodal parametric reduction on text being 60%. It is concluded that the application of a stacked ensembling significantly improves FND over other approaches.

• Abstract: Fake News Detection (FND) is an essential field in natural language processing that aims to identify and check the truthfulness of major claims in a news article to decide the news veracity. FND finds its uses in preventing social, political and national damage caused due to misrepresentation of facts which may harm a certain section of society. Further, with the explosive rise in fake news dissemination over social media, including images and text, it has become imperative to identify fake news faster and more accurately. To solve this problem, this work investigates a novel multimodal stacked ensemble-based approach (SEMIFND) to fake news detection. Focus is also kept on ensuring faster performance with fewer parameters. Moreover, to improve multimodal performance, a deep unimodal analysis is done on the image modality to identify NasNet Mobile as the most appropriate model for the task. For text, an ensemble of BERT and ELECTRA is used. The approach was evaluated on two datasets: Twitter MediaEval and Weibo Corpus. The suggested framework offered accuracies of 85.80% and 86.83% on the Twitter and Weibo datasets respectively. These reported metrics are found to be superior when compared to similar recent works. Further, we also report a reduction in the number of parameters used in training when compared to recent relevant works. SEMI-FND offers an overall parameter reduction of at least 20% with unimodal parametric reduction on text being 60%. Therefore, based on the investigations presented, it is concluded that the application of a stacked ensembling significantly improves FND over other approaches while also improving speed.

  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%.

  Social media platforms have fueled the rapid dissemination of fake news, posing threats to our real-life society. Existing methods use multimodal data or contextual information to enhance the detection of fake news. We propose a novel multi-hop syntax aware fake news detection (MSynFD) method, which incorporates complementary syntax information to deal with subtle twists in fake news.

• 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.
