• Abstract: Fake news spreads at an unprecedented speed, reaches global audiences and poses huge risks to users and communities. Most existing fake news detection algorithms focus on building supervised training models on a large amount of manually labeled data, which is expensive to acquire or often unavailable. In this work, we propose a novel label noise-resistant mean teaching approach (LNMT) for weakly supervised fake news detection. LNMT leverages unlabeled news and feedback comments of users to enlarge the amount of training data and facilitates model training by generating refined labels as weak supervision. Specifically, LNMT automatically assigns initial weak labels to unlabeled samples based on semantic correlation and emotional association between news content and the comments. Moreover, in order to suppress the noises in weak labels, LNMT establishes a mean teacher framework equipped with label propagation and label reliability estimation. The framework measures a weak label similarity matrix between the teacher and student networks, and propagates different valuable weak label information to refine the weak labels. Meanwhile, it exploits the consistency between the output class likelihood vectors of the two networks to evaluate the reliability of the weak labels and incorporates the reliability into model optimization to alleviate the negative effect of noisy weak labels. Extensive experiments show the superior performance of LNMT.

  We introduce a novel label noise type called BadLabel, which can significantly degrade the performance of existing LNL algorithms by a large margin. BadLabel is crafted based on the label-flipping attack against standard classification. We propose a robust LNL method that perturbs the labels in an adversarial manner at each epoch to make the loss values of clean and noisy labels again distinguishable.

  We study the problem of learning neural text classifiers without using any labeled data, but only easy-to-provide rules as multiple weak supervision sources. This problem is challenging because rule-induced weak labels are often noisy and incomplete. We design a label denoiser, which estimates the source reliability using a conditional soft attention mechanism and then reduces label noise by aggregating rule-annotated weak labels.

We propose a method called MetaSRE, where a Relation Label Generation Network generates quality assessment on pseudo labels by (meta) learning from the successful and failed attempts on Relation Classification Network as an additional meta-objective.
