- Abstract: Despite considerable advances in automated fake news detection, due to the
timely nature of news, it remains a critical open question how to effectively
predict the veracity of news articles based on limited fact-checks. Existing
approaches typically follow a "Train-from-Scratch" paradigm, which is
fundamentally bounded by the availability of large-scale annotated data. While
expressive pre-trained language models (PLMs) have been adapted in a
"Pre-Train-and-Fine-Tune" manner, the inconsistency between pre-training and
downstream objectives also requires costly task-specific supervision. In this
paper, we propose "Prompt-and-Align" (P&A), a novel prompt-based paradigm for
few-shot fake news detection that jointly leverages the pre-trained knowledge
in PLMs and the social context topology. Our approach mitigates label scarcity
by wrapping the news article in a task-related textual prompt, which is then
processed by the PLM to directly elicit task-specific knowledge. To supplement
the PLM with social context without inducing additional training overheads,
motivated by empirical observation on user veracity consistency (i.e., social
users tend to consume news of the same veracity type), we further construct a
news proximity graph among news articles to capture the veracity-consistent
signals in shared readerships, and align the prompting predictions along the
graph edges in a confidence-informed manner. Extensive experiments on three
real-world benchmarks demonstrate that P&A sets new states-of-the-art for
few-shot fake news detection performance by significant margins.

We present a novel task, identifying manipulation of news on social media, which aims to detect manipulation in social media posts and identify manipulated or inserted information.
To study this task, we have proposed a data collection schema and curated a dataset called ManiTweet, consisting of 3.6K pairs of tweets and corresponding articles.
Our analysis demonstrates that this task is highly challenging, with large language models (LLMs) yielding unsatisfactory performance.

Large language models (LLMs) encode parametric knowledge about world facts.
Their reliance on parametric knowledge may cause them to overlook contextual cues, leading to incorrect predictions in context-sensitive NLP tasks.
We assess and enhance LLMs' contextual faithfulness in two aspects: knowledge conflict and prediction with abstention.

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.
