In recent years, to mitigate the problem of fake news, computational detection news has been studied, producing some promising early results. While important, however, we argue that a critical missing piece study be explainability such detection, i.e., why particular is detected as fake. this paper, therefore, explainable news. We develop sentence-comment co-attention sub-network exploit both contents and user comments jointly capture top-k check-worthy sentences for detection. conduct...
Social media is becoming popular for news consumption due to its fast dissemination, easy access, and low cost. However, it also enables the wide propagation of fake news, i.e., with intentionally false information. Detecting an important task, which not only ensures users receive authentic information but helps maintain a trustworthy ecosystem. The majority existing detection algorithms focus on finding clues from contents, are generally effective because often written mislead by mimicking...
Consuming news from social media is becoming increasingly popular nowadays. Social brings benefits to users due the inherent nature of fast dissemination, cheap cost, and easy access. However, quality considered lower than traditional outlets, resulting in large amounts fake news. Detecting becomes very important attracting increasing attention detrimental effects on individuals society. The performance detecting only content generally not satisfactory, it suggested incorporate user...
Social media has become one of the main channels for people to access and consume news, due rapidness low cost news dissemination on it. However, such properties social also make it a hotbed fake dissemination, bringing negative impacts both individuals society. Therefore, detecting crucial problem attracting tremendous research effort. Most existing methods detection are supervised, which require an extensive amount time labor build reliably annotated dataset. In search alternative, in this...
The increasing popularity and diversity of social media sites has encouraged more people to participate on multiple online networks enjoy their services. Each user may create a identity, which can includes profile, content, or network information, represent his her unique public figure in every network. Thus, fundamental question arises -- we link identities across networks? User identity linkage is an emerging task attracted attention recent years. Advancements could potentially impact...
The explosive growth of fake news and its erosion to democracy, justice, public trust increased the demand for detection. As an interdisciplinary topic, study encourages a concerted effort experts in computer information science, political journalism, social psychology, economics. A comprehensive framework systematically understand detect is necessary attract unite researchers related areas conduct research on news. This tutorial aims clearly present (1) research, challenges, directions; (2)...
The rapid growth of Location-based Social Networks (LBSNs) provides a vast amount check-in data, which facilitates the study point-of-interest (POI) recommendation. majority existing POI recommendation methods focus on four aspects, i.e., temporal patterns, geographical influence, social correlations and textual content indications. For example, user's visits to locations have patterns users are likely visit POIs near them. In real-world LBSNs such as Instagram, can upload photos associating...
Social media has become a popular means for people to consume news. Meanwhile, it also enables the wide dissemination of fake news, i.e., news with intentionally false information, which brings significant negative effects society. Thus, detection is attracting increasing attention. However, non-trivial task, requires multi-source information such as content, social context, and dynamic information. First, written fool people, makes difficult detect simply based on contents. In addition...
Consuming news from social media is becoming increasingly popular. Social appeals to users due its fast dissemination of information, low cost, and easy access. However, also enables the widespread fake news. Due detrimental societal effects news, detecting has attracted increasing attention. detection performance only using contents generally not satisfactory as written mimic true Thus, there a need for an in-depth understanding on relationship between user profiles In this paper, we study...
Emotion plays an important role in detecting fake news online. When leveraging emotional signals, the existing methods focus on exploiting emotions of contents that conveyed by publishers (i.e., publisher emotion). However, often evokes high-arousal or activating people, so comments aroused crowd social emotion) should not be ignored. Furthermore, it remains to explored whether there exists a relationship between emotion and dual emotion), how appears news. In this paper, we verify is...
Disinformation and fake news have posed detrimental effects on individuals society in recent years, attracting broad attention to detection. The majority of existing detection algorithms focus mining content and/or the surrounding exogenous context for discovering deceptive signals; while endogenous preference a user when he/she decides spread piece or not is ignored. confirmation bias theory has indicated that more likely it confirms his/her beliefs/preferences. Users' historical, social...

An infodemic is an overflow of information varying quality that surges across digital and physical environments during acute public health event. It leads to confusion, risk-taking, behaviors can harm lead erosion trust in authorities responses. Owing the global scale high stakes emergency, responding related pandemic particularly urgent. Building on diverse research disciplines expanding discipline infodemiology, more evidence-based interventions are needed design management tools implement...
The wide spread of fake news is increasingly threatening both individuals and society. Great efforts have been made for automatic detection on a single domain (e.g., politics). However, correlations exist commonly across multiple domains, thus it promising to simultaneously detect domains. Based our analysis, we pose two challenges in multi-domain detection: 1) shift, caused by the discrepancy among domains terms words, emotions, styles, etc. 2) labeling incompleteness, stemming from...
Abstract Misinformation such as fake news and rumors is a serious threat for information ecosystems public trust. The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has great potential to reshape the landscape combating misinformation. Generally, LLMs can be double‐edged sword in fight. On one hand, bring promising opportunities misinformation due their profound world knowledge strong reasoning abilities. Thus, emerging question is: we utilize combat misinformation? other critical challenge that...
The wide dissemination of fake news has affected our lives in many aspects, making detection important and attracting increasing attention. Existing approaches make substantial contributions this field by modeling from a single-modal or multi-modal perspective. However, these modal-based methods can result sub-optimal outcomes as they ignore reader behaviors consumption authenticity verification. For instance, haven't taken into consideration the component-by-component reading process:...
