• Abstract: The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) opens new avenues for addressing complex challenges in multimodal content analysis, particularly in biased news detection. This study introduces ViLBias, a framework that leverages state of the art LLMs and VLMs to detect linguistic and visual biases in news content, addressing the limitations of traditional text-only approaches. Our contributions include a novel dataset pairing textual content with accompanying visuals from diverse news sources and a hybrid annotation framework, combining LLM-based annotations with human review to enhance quality while reducing costs and improving scalability. We evaluate the efficacy of LLMs and VLMs in identifying biases, revealing their strengths in detecting subtle framing and text-visual inconsistencies. Empirical analysis demonstrates that incorporating visual cues alongside text enhances bias detection accuracy by 3 to 5 %, showcasing the complementary strengths of LLMs in generative reasoning and Small Language Models (SLMs) in classification. This study offers a comprehensive exploration of LLMs and VLMs as tools for detecting multimodal biases in news content, highlighting both their potential and limitations. Our research paves the way for more robust, scalable, and nuanced approaches to media bias detection, contributing to the broader field of natural language processing and multimodal analysis. (The data and code will be made available for research purposes).

  Large language models (LLMs) generate content that can undermine trust in online discourse. Current methods often focus on binary classification, failing to address the complexities of real-world scenarios like human-AI collaboration. To move beyond binary classification and address these challenges, we propose a new paradigm for detecting LLM-generated content.

  Large language models (LLMs) have transformed human writing by enhancing grammar correction, content expansion, and stylistic refinement. Existing detection methods, which mainly rely on single-feature analysis and binary classification, often fail to effectively identify LLM-generated text in academic contexts. We propose a novel Multi-level Fine-grained Detection framework that detects LLM-generated text by integrating low-level structural, high-level semantic, and deep-level linguistic features.

  Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) are trained based on large language models (LLM) While they excel in multi-modal tasks, the pure NLP abilities of MLLMs are often underestimated and left untested. We show that visual instruction tuning, a prevailing strategy for transitioning LLMs into MLLMs, unexpectedly and interestingly helps models attain both improved truthfulness and ethical alignment.
