Causal Intervention and Counterfactual Reasoning for Multi-modal Fake News Detection (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for multi-modal fake news detection neglect the fact that some label-specific features cannot generalize well to the testing set, thus suffering from the latent data bias. |
| Approach: | They propose a Causal intervention and Counterfactual reasoning based debiasing framework for multi-modal fake news detection that eliminates the image-only bias by deducting the direct effect of the image from the total effect on labels. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework eliminates the psycholinguistic bias in the text and the bias of inferring news label based on only image features. |
Improving Cross-domain, Cross-lingual and Multi-modal Deception Detection (2022.acl-srw)

| Challenge: | Deception detection is a deliberate choice to mislead to gain some advantage or avoid some penalty. |
| Approach: | They propose to use inter-domain distance to identify suitable source domain for a given target domain to improve cross-domain deception classification and to better understand multi-modal deception detection. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods will be able to detect deception in cross-domain, cross-lingual and multi-modal settings and will improve multi-modular deception classification. |

The Missing Parts: Augmenting Fact Verification with Half Truth Detection (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing fact verification systems assess whether a claim is true or false . but many real-world claims are half-truths due to omission of critical context . a new framework that detects omitted information can improve existing fact-checking pipelines . |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that detects omission-based misinformation by aligning evidence and inferring implied intent. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework boosts Half-True classification F1 by up to 16 points . it can be integrated into existing fact-checking pipelines and improves performance across strong baselines. |
