We propose Factual News Graph (FANG), a novel graphical social context representation and learning framework for fake news detection. Unlike previous contextual models that have targeted performance, our focus is on representation learning. Compared to transductive models, FANG is scalable in training as it does not have to maintain all nodes, and it is efficient at inference time, without the need to re-process the entire graph. Our experimental results show that FANG is better at capturing…

Graph-based Modeling of Online Communities for Fake News Detection
TLDR
This work proposes a novel social context-aware fake news detection framework, SAFER, based on graph neural networks (GNNs), and introduces novel methods based on relational and hyperbolic GNNs, which have not been previously used for user or community modeling within NLP.
Can We Spot the "Fake News" Before It Was Even Written?
TLDR
Media profiles are developed that show the general factuality of reporting, the degree of propagandistic content, hyper-partisanship, leading political ideology, general frame ofReporting, and stance with respect to various claims and topics in the Tanbih news aggregator.
Tackling Fake News Detection by Continually Improving Social Context Representations using Graph Neural Networks
Easy access, variety of content, and fast widespread interactions are some of the reasons making social media increasingly popular. However, this rise has also enabled the propagation of fake news,…
Fact-Checking, Fake News, Propaganda, Media Bias, and the COVID-19 Infodemic
TLDR
This work offers an overview of the emerging and inter-connected research areas of fact-checking, disinformation, "fake news'', propaganda, and media bias detection, and the ongoing COVID-19 infodemic.
Fake news detection based on news content and social contexts: a transformer-based approach
TLDR
Experimental results on real-world data show that the proposed fake news detection framework can detect fake news with higher accuracy within a few minutes after it propagates (early detection) than the baselines.
A Unified Graph-Based Approach to Disinformation Detection using Contextual and Semantic Relations
TLDR
A graph data structure that combines underlying users’ relational event information, as well as semantic and topical modeling, is presented, which shows a consistent 3%-4% improvement in accuracy when using the meta-graph, over all considered algorithms, compared to basic cascade classification, and a further 1% increase when topic modeling and sentiment analysis are considered.
Fake News, Disinformation, Propaganda, and Media Bias
TLDR
The research community responded to the issue, proposing a number of inter-connected research directions such as fact-checking, disinformation, misinformation, fake news, propaganda, and media bias detection, which are of interest to human fact-checkers and journalists.
Hetero-SCAN: Towards Social Context Aware Fake News Detection via Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network
TLDR
Hetero-SCAN, a novel social context aware fake news detection method, based on a heterogeneous graph neural network, is proposed, which yields significant improvement over state-of-the-art text-based and graphbasedfake news detection methods in terms of performance and efficiency.
