Recent years have witnessed the significant damage caused by various types of fake news. Although considerable effort has been applied to address this issue and much progress has been made on detecting fake news, most existing approaches…
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…
The increased focus on misinformation has spurred development of data and systems for detecting the veracity of a claim as well as retrieving authoritative evidence. The Fact Extraction and VERification (FEVER) dataset provides such a…
Mis- and disinformation, commonly collectively called fake news, continue to menace society. Perhaps, the impact of this age-old problem is presently most plain in politics and healthcare. However, fake news is affecting an increasing…
Development of methods to detect fake news (FN) in low-resource languages has been impeded by a lack of training data. In this study, we solve the problem by using only training data from a high-resource language. Our FN-detection system…
Deepfake media is becoming widespread nowadays because of the easily available tools and mobile apps which can generate realistic looking deepfake videos/images without requiring any technical knowledge. With further advances in this field…
The proliferation of fake news has emerged as a severe societal problem, raising significant interest from industry and academia. While existing deep-learning based methods have made progress in detecting fake news accurately, their…
The present level of proliferation of fake, biased, and propagandistic content online has made it impossible to fact-check every single suspicious claim or article, either manually or automatically. Thus, many researchers are shifting their…
The proliferation of fake news on social media has opened up new directions of research for timely identification and containment of fake news, and mitigation of its widespread impact on public opinion. While much of the earlier research…
The availability and interactive nature of social media have made them the primary source of news around the globe. The popularity of social media tempts criminals to pursue their immoral intentions by producing and disseminating fake news…
The spread of fake news has emerged as a critical challenge, undermining trust and posing threats to society. In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs), the capability to generate believable fake content has intensified these concerns. In…
Due to the evolution of the Web and social network platforms it becomes very easy to disseminate the information. Peoples are creating and sharing more information than ever before, which may be misleading, misinformation or fake…
We study the problem of profiling news media on the Web with respect to their factuality of reporting and bias. This is an important but under-studied problem related to disinformation and "fake news" detection, but it addresses the issue…
Deep learning has enabled realistic face manipulation (i.e., deepfake), which poses significant concerns over the integrity of the media in circulation. Most existing deep learning techniques for deepfake detection can achieve promising…
The prevalence of short video platforms has spawned a lot of fake news videos, which have stronger propagation ability than textual fake news. Thus, automatically detecting fake news videos has been an important countermeasure in practice.…
The proliferation of social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Weibo has significantly enhanced the dissemination of false information. This phenomenon grants both individuals and governmental entities the ability to shape…
The increasing proliferation of misinformation and its alarming impact have motivated both industry and academia to develop approaches for fake news detection. However, state-of-the-art approaches are usually trained on datasets of smaller…
Nowadays, people in Bangladesh frequently rely on the internet and social media for daily news instead of traditional newspapers. However, the spread of false Bangla news through these platforms poses risks and challenges to the credibility…
The exponential rise of social media and digital news in the past decade has had the unfortunate consequence of escalating what the United Nations has called a global topic of concern: the growing prevalence of disinformation. Given the…
Identifying the stance of a news article body with respect to a certain headline is the first step to automated fake news detection. In this paper, we introduce a 2-stage ensemble model to solve the stance detection task. By using only…
