Adapting Fake News Detection to the Era of Large Language Models (2024.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a gap exists in understanding the interplay between machine-paraphrased real news, machine-generated fake news, and human-written real news . false information is easier to generate but harder to detect due to the bias of detectors against machine-generated texts . |
| Approach: | They propose a strategy to adapt fake news detectors to the era of large language models and AI-driven content creation . |
| Outcome: | The proposed detectors perform well on human-written articles but not vice versa . the proposed detector should be trained on datasets with lower machine-generated news ratio than the test set . |

An Interactive Framework for Profiling News Media Sources (2024.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing tools for detecting fake news are difficult for automated systems . e.g., we focus on the source level, and ask: Is this source factual or politically biased? |
| Approach: | They propose an interactive framework for news media profiling that uses graphs and pre-trained large language models to characterize social context on social media. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can detect fake and biased news media with as little as 5 human interactions . it can scale better, as often sources publish have same factuality/political bias as source . |
