• Abstract: Over the past years, a large number of fake news detection algorithms based on deep learning have emerged. However, they are often developed under different frameworks, each mandating distinct utilization methodologies, consequently hindering reproducibility. Additionally, a substantial amount of redundancy characterizes the code development of such fake news detection models. To address these concerns, we propose FaKnow, a unified and comprehensive fake news detection algorithm library. It encompasses a variety of widely used fake news detection models, categorized as content-based and social context-based approaches. This library covers the full spectrum of the model training and evaluation process, effectively organizing the data, models, and training procedures within a unified framework. Furthermore, it furnishes a series of auxiliary functionalities and tools, including visualization, and logging. Our work contributes to the standardization and unification of fake news detection research, concurrently facilitating the endeavors of researchers in this field. The open-source code and documentation can be accessed at https://github.com/NPURG/FaKnow and https://faknow.readthedocs.io, respectively.

  This paper presents the POLygraph dataset, a unique resource for fake news detection in Polish. The dataset is composed of two parts: the "fake-or-not" dataset with 11,360 pairs of news articles (identified by their URLs) and corresponding labels, and the "fake-they-say" dataset with 5,082 news articles (identified by their URLs) and tweets commenting on them. The project also developed a software tool that uses advanced machine learning techniques to analyze the data and determine content authenticity.

  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.

• Human-in-the-Loop Disinformation Detection: Stance, Sentiment, or Something Else? [93.91375268580806]
  Both politics and pandemics have recently provided ample motivation for the development of machine learning-enabled disinformation (a.k.a. fake news) detection algorithms. Existing literature has focused primarily on the fully-automated case, but the resulting techniques cannot reliably detect disinformation on the varied topics, sources, and time scales required for military applications. By leveraging an already-available analyst as a human-in-the-loop, canonical machine learning techniques of sentiment analysis, aspect-based sentiment analysis, and stance detection become plausible methods to use for a partially-automated disinformation detection system.
