• Abstract: Satire, irony, and sarcasm are techniques typically used to express humor and critique, rather than deceive; however, they can occasionally be mistaken for factual reporting, akin to fake news. These techniques can be applied at a more granular level, allowing satirical information to be incorporated into news articles. In this paper, we introduce the first sentence-level dataset for Romanian satire detection for news articles, called SeLeRoSa. The dataset comprises 13,873 manually annotated sentences spanning various domains, including social issues, IT, science, and movies. With the rise and recent progress of large language models (LLMs) in the natural language processing literature, LLMs have demonstrated enhanced capabilities to tackle various tasks in zero-shot settings. We evaluate multiple baseline models based on LLMs in both zero-shot and fine-tuning settings, as well as baseline transformer-based models. Our findings reveal the current limitations of these models in the sentence-level satire detection task, paving the way for new research directions.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as "content farm" models (CFMs) to generate synthetic text that could pass for real news articles. We show that fine-tuning Llama (v1), mostly trained on English, is sufficient for producing news-like texts that native speakers of Italian struggle to identify as synthetic.

  This paper proposes a simple but effective framework: Transliterate-Merge-literation (TransMI)<n>TransMI can create strong baselines for data that is transliterated into a common script by exploiting an existing mPLM and its tokenizer without any training.<n>Our experiments demonstrate that TransMI not only preserves the mPLM's ability to handle non-transliterated data, but also enables it to effectively process transliterated data, thereby facilitating crosslingual transfer across scripts.

  We introduce MoSECroT Model Stitching with Static Word Embeddings for Crosslingual Zero-shot Transfer. In this paper, we present the first framework that leverages relative representations to construct a common space for the embeddings of a source language PLM and the static word embeddings of a target language. We show that although our proposed framework is competitive with weak baselines when addressing MoSECroT, it fails to achieve competitive results compared with some strong baselines.

  SheepDog is a style-robust fake news detector that prioritizes content over style in determining news veracity. SheepDog achieves this resilience through (1) LLM-empowered news reframings that inject style diversity into the training process by customizing articles to match different styles; (2) a style-agnostic training scheme that ensures consistent veracity predictions across style-diverse reframings; and (3) content-focused attributions that distill content-centric guidelines from LLMs for debunking fake news.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) may hallucinate and generate fake information, despite pre-training on factual data. We propose according-to prompting: directing LLMs to ground responses against previously observed text. To quantify this grounding, we propose a novel evaluation metric (QUIP-Score) that measures the extent to which model-produced answers are directly found in underlying text corpora.

  Large language models (LLMs) can generate texts that pose risks of misuse, such as plagiarism, planting fake reviews on e-commerce platforms, or creating inflammatory false tweets. Existing high-quality detection methods usually require access to the interior of the model to extract the intrinsic characteristics. We propose to extract deep intrinsic characteristics of the black-box model generated texts.
