• Title: Health Misinformation Detection in Web Content via Web2Vec: A Structural-, Content-based, and Context-aware Approach based on Web2Vec
• Authors: Rishabh Upadhyay, Gabriella Pasi, Marco Viviani,
• Abstract summary: We focus on Web page content, where there is still room for research to study structural-, content- and context-based features to assess the credibility of Web pages. This work aims to study the effectiveness of such features in association with a deep learning model, starting from an embedded representation of Web pages that has been recently proposed in the context of phishing Web page detection, i.e., Web2Vec.

• Abstract: In recent years, we have witnessed the proliferation of large amounts of online content generated directly by users with virtually no form of external control, leading to the possible spread of misinformation. The search for effective solutions to this problem is still ongoing, and covers different areas of application, from opinion spam to fake news detection. A more recently investigated scenario, despite the serious risks that incurring disinformation could entail, is that of the online dissemination of health information. Early approaches in this area focused primarily on user-based studies applied to Web page content. More recently, automated approaches have been developed for both Web pages and social media content, particularly with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. These approaches are primarily based on handcrafted features extracted from online content in association with Machine Learning. In this scenario, we focus on Web page content, where there is still room for research to study structural-, content- and context-based features to assess the credibility of Web pages. Therefore, this work aims to study the effectiveness of such features in association with a deep learning model, starting from an embedded representation of Web pages that has been recently proposed in the context of phishing Web page detection, i.e., Web2Vec.

• Illusions of Relevance: Using Content Injection Attacks to Deceive Retrievers, Rerankers, and LLM Judges [52.96987928118327]
  We find that embedding models for retrieval, rerankers, and large language model (LLM) relevance judges are vulnerable to content injection attacks. We identify two primary threats: (1) inserting unrelated or harmful content within passages that still appear deceptively "relevant", and (2) inserting entire queries or key query terms into passages to boost their perceived relevance. Our study systematically examines the factors that influence an attack's success, such as the placement of injected content and the balance between relevant and non-relevant material.

• Web Privacy based on Contextual Integrity: Measuring the Collapse of Online Contexts [0.0]
  We operationalize the theory of Privacy as Contextual Integrity and measure persistent user identification within and between Web contexts. We crawl the top-700 popular websites across the contexts of health, finance, news & media, LGBTQ, eCommerce, adult, and education websites, for 27 days. Our findings reveal how persistent browser identification varies between and within contexts, diffusing user IDs to different distances, contrasting known tracking distributions across websites, and conducted as a joint or separate effort via cookie IDs and JS fingerprinting.

  We present a novel, yet very powerful Explore-Exploit (EE) approach to group topics by simulating Levy walks nature in the similarity space. Experiments on two public data sets demonstrate that our approach is not only comparable to the state-of-the-art methods in terms of effectiveness but also significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of efficiency.
