- Abstract: The proliferation of fake news has become a significant concern in recent
times due to its potential to spread misinformation and manipulate public
opinion. This paper presents a comprehensive study on detecting fake news in
Brazilian Portuguese, focusing on journalistic-type news. We propose a machine
learning-based approach that leverages natural language processing techniques,
including TF-IDF and Word2Vec, to extract features from textual data. We
evaluate the performance of various classification algorithms, such as logistic
regression, support vector machine, random forest, AdaBoost, and LightGBM, on a
dataset containing both true and fake news articles. The proposed approach
achieves high accuracy and F1-Score, demonstrating its effectiveness in
identifying fake news. Additionally, we developed a user-friendly web platform,
fakenewsbr.com, to facilitate the verification of news articles' veracity. Our
platform provides real-time analysis, allowing users to assess the likelihood
of fake news articles. Through empirical analysis and comparative studies, we
demonstrate the potential of our approach to contribute to the fight against
the spread of fake news and promote more informed media consumption.

We study the interplay between machine-(paraphrased) real news, machine-generated fake news, human-written fake news, and human-written real news.
Our experiments reveal an interesting pattern that detectors trained exclusively on human-written articles can indeed perform well at detecting machine-generated fake news, but not vice versa.

"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 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 propose a novel framework for generating training examples informed by the known styles and strategies of human-authored propaganda.
Specifically, we perform self-critical sequence training guided by natural language inference to ensure the validity of the generated articles.
Our experimental results show that fake news detectors trained on PropaNews are better at detecting human-written disinformation by 3.62 - 7.69% F1 score on two public datasets.
