Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | illiterate individuals are persons aged 15 years and above who cannot read and write with understanding a short simple statement on their everyday life. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel approach to assess french text readability for adults with low literacy skills using a global and segment-level difficulty scale. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach addresses both global (full-text) and local (segment-level) difficulty scales. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to detect fake news focus on mining lexical and syntactic features. |
| Approach: | They propose a topology imbalance and Relation inauthenticity aware Hierarchical Graph Attention Networks to identify fake news on social media. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on real-world datasets. |
