YouTube is the leading social media platform for sharing videos. As a result, it is plagued with misleading content that includes staged videos presented as real footages from an incident, videos with misrepresented context and videos where…
Users polarization and confirmation bias play a key role in misinformation spreading on online social media. Our aim is to use this information to determine in advance potential targets for hoaxes and fake news. In this paper, we introduce…
We present the Verifee Dataset: a novel dataset of news articles with fine-grained trustworthiness annotations. We develop a detailed methodology that assesses the texts based on their parameters encompassing editorial transparency,…
In this work, we address the real-world, challenging task of out-of-context misinformation detection, where a real image is paired with an incorrect caption for creating fake news. Existing approaches for this task assume the availability…
Transfer learning --- transferring learned knowledge --- has brought a paradigm shift in the way models are trained. The lucrative benefits of improved accuracy and reduced training time have shown promise in training models with…
Disinformation is often presented in long textual articles, especially when it relates to domains such as health, often seen in relation to COVID-19. These articles are typically observed to have a number of trustworthy sentences among…
Phishing websites now rely heavily on visual imitation-copied logos, similar layouts, and matching colours-to avoid detection by text- and URL-based systems. This paper presents a deep learning approach that uses webpage screenshots for…
