• Abstract: Media companies witnessed a significant transformation with the rise of the internet, bigdata, machine learning (ML) and AI. Recent emergence of large language models (LLM) have added another aspect to this transformation. Researchers believe that with the help of these technologies, investigative digital journalism will enter a new era. Using a smart set of data gathering and analysis tools, journalists will be able to create data driven contents and insights in unprecedented ways. In this paper, we introduce a versatile and autonomous investigative journalism tool, called {\em SociaLens}, for identifying and extracting query specific data from online sources, responding to probing queries and drawing conclusions entailed by large volumes of data using ML analytics fully autonomously. We envision its use in investigative journalism, law enforcement and social policy planning. The proposed system capitalizes on the integration of ML technology with LLMs and advanced bigdata search techniques. We illustrate the functionality of SociaLens using a focused case study on rape incidents in a developing country and demonstrate that journalists can gain nuanced insights without requiring coding expertise they might lack. SociaLens is designed as a ChatBot that is capable of contextual conversation, find and collect data relevant to queries, initiate ML tasks to respond to queries, generate textual and visual reports, all fully autonomously within the ChatBot environment.

  The past few decades have witnessed an upsurge in data, forming the foundation for data-hungry, learning-based AI technology. Conversational agents, often referred to as AI chatbots, rely heavily on such data to train large language models (LLMs) and generate new content (knowledge) in response to user prompts. This paper presents a complete survey of the evolution and deployment of LLM-based chatbots in various sectors.

  The massive collection of user posts across social media platforms is primarily untapped for artificial intelligence (AI) use cases. Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of AI that leverages bodies of documents, known as corpora, to train computers in human-like language understanding. This study demonstrates that the applied results of unsupervised analysis allow a computer to predict either negative, positive, or neutral user sentiment towards plastic surgery.

  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.
