ألقى النمو الأسي للإنترنت والوسائط الاجتماعية في العقد الماضي الطريق إلى زيادة نشر المعلومات الخاطئة أو المضللة. منذ الانتخابات الرئاسية الأمريكية لعام 2016، أصبحت مصطلح أخبار وهمية "أصبحت شعبية متزايدة وقد تلقت هذه الظاهرة اهتماما أكبر. في السنوات الماضية، تم إنشاء العديد من وكالات فحص الحقائق، ولكن بسبب عدد كبير من الوظائف اليومية على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي، والفحص اليدوي غير كاف. حاليا، هناك حاجة ملحة لأدوات الكشف عن الأخبار التلقائي، إما لمساعدة قوائم الداما اليدوية أو التشغيل كأدوات قائمة بذاتها. هناك العديد من المشاريع جارية حول هذا الموضوع، لكن معظمهم يركزون على اللغة الإنجليزية. تناقش ورقة البحث في البحث هذه توظيف أساليب التعلم العميق، وتطوير أداة، للكشف عن الأخبار الخاطئة باللغة البرتغالية. كخطوة أولى، سنقوم بمقارنة الهيغات الراسخة التي تم اختبارها بلغات أخرى وتحليل أدائها على بياناتنا البرتغالية. بناء على النتائج الأولية لهذه المصنفات، يجب أن نختار نموذجا للتعلم العميق أو الجمع بين العديد من نماذج التعلم العميق التي تعاني من وعد لتعزيز أداء نظام الكشف عن الأخبار المزيف.
The exponential growth of the internet and social media in the past decade gave way to the increase in dissemination of false or misleading information. Since the 2016 US presidential election, the term fake news'' became increasingly popular and this phenomenon has received more attention. In the past years several fact-checking agencies were created, but due to the great number of daily posts on social media, manual checking is insufficient. Currently, there is a pressing need for automatic fake news detection tools, either to assist manual fact-checkers or to operate as standalone tools. There are several projects underway on this topic, but most of them focus on English. This research-in-progress paper discusses the employment of deep learning methods, and the development of a tool, for detecting false news in Portuguese. As a first step we shall compare well-established architectures that were tested in other languages and analyse their performance on our Portuguese data. Based on the preliminary results of these classifiers, we shall choose a deep learning model or combine several deep learning models which hold promise to enhance the performance of our fake news detection system.

Statements that are intentionally misstated (or manipulated) are of considerable interest to researchers, government, security, and financial systems. According to deception literature, there are reliable cues for detecting deception and the belief t
hat liars give off cues that may indicate their deception is near-universal. Therefore, given that deceiving actions require advanced cognitive development that honesty simply does not require, as well as people's cognitive mechanisms have promising guidance for deception detection, in this Ph.D. ongoing research, we propose to examine discourse structure patterns in multilingual deceptive news corpora using the Rhetorical Structure Theory framework. Considering that our work is the first to exploit multilingual discourse-aware strategies for fake news detection, the research community currently lacks multilingual deceptive annotated corpora. Accordingly, this paper describes the current progress in this thesis, including (i) the construction of the first multilingual deceptive corpus, which was annotated by specialists according to the Rhetorical Structure Theory framework, and (ii) the introduction of two new proposed rhetorical relations: INTERJECTION and IMPERATIVE, which we assume to be relevant for the fake news detection task.
As the world continues to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, it is simultaneously fighting an infodemic' -- a flood of disinformation and spread of conspiracy theories leading to health threats and the division of society. To combat this infodemic, there i
s an urgent need for benchmark datasets that can help researchers develop and evaluate models geared towards automatic detection of disinformation. While there are increasing efforts to create adequate, open-source benchmark datasets for English, comparable resources are virtually unavailable for German, leaving research for the German language lagging significantly behind. In this paper, we introduce the new benchmark dataset FANG-COVID consisting of 28,056 real and 13,186 fake German news articles related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as data on their propagation on Twitter. Furthermore, we propose an explainable textual- and social context-based model for fake news detection, compare its performance to black-box'' models and perform feature ablation to assess the relative importance of human-interpretable features in distinguishing fake news from authentic news.
Deep neural language models such as BERT have enabled substantial recent advances in many natural language processing tasks. However, due to the effort and computational cost involved in their pre-training, such models are typically introduced only f
or a small number of high-resource languages such as English. While multilingual models covering large numbers of languages are available, recent work suggests monolingual training can produce better models, and our understanding of the tradeoffs between mono- and multilingual training is incomplete. In this paper, we introduce a simple, fully automated pipeline for creating language-specific BERT models from Wikipedia data and introduce 42 new such models, most for languages up to now lacking dedicated deep neural language models. We assess the merits of these models using cloze tests and the state-of-the-art UDify parser on Universal Dependencies data, contrasting performance with results using the multilingual BERT (mBERT) model. We find that the newly introduced WikiBERT models outperform mBERT in cloze tests for nearly all languages, and that UDify using WikiBERT models outperforms the parser using mBERT on average, with the language-specific models showing substantially improved performance for some languages, yet limited improvement or a decrease in performance for others. All of the methods and models introduced in this work are available under open licenses from https://github.com/turkunlp/wikibert.
Active learning has been shown to reduce annotation requirements for numerous natural language processing tasks, including semantic role labeling (SRL). SRL involves labeling argument spans for potentially multiple predicates in a sentence, which mak
es it challenging to aggregate the numerous decisions into a single score for determining new instances to annotate. In this paper, we apply two ways of aggregating scores across multiple predicates in order to choose query sentences with two methods of estimating model certainty: using the neural network's outputs and using dropout-based Bayesian Active Learning by Disagreement. We compare these methods with three passive baselines --- random sentence selection, random whole-document selection, and selecting sentences with the most predicates --- and analyse the effect these strategies have on the learning curve with respect to reducing the number of annotated sentences and predicates to achieve high performance.
Customer reviews are useful in providing an indirect, secondhand experience of a product. People often use reviews written by other customers as a guideline prior to purchasing a product. Such behavior signifies the authenticity of reviews in e-comme
rce platforms. However, fake reviews are increasingly becoming a hassle for both consumers and product owners. To address this issue, we propose You Only Need Gold (YONG), an essential information mining tool for detecting fake reviews and augmenting user discretion. Our experimental results show the poor human performance on fake review detection, substantially improved user capability given our tool, and the ultimate need for user reliance on the tool.
