Cross-Modal Consistency with Aesthetic Similarity for Multimodal False Information Detection

With the explosive growth of false information on social media platforms, the automatic detection of multimodalfalse information has received increasing attention. Recent research has significantly contributed to multimodalinformation exchange and fusion, with many methods attempting to integrate unimodal features to generatemultimodal news representations. However, they still need to fully explore the hierarchical and complex semanticcorrelations between different modal contents, severely limiting their performance detecting multimodal falseinformation. This work proposes a two-stage detection framework for multimodal false information detection,called ASMFD, which is based on image aesthetic similarity to segment and explores the consistency andinconsistency features of images and texts. Specifically, we first use the Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training(CLIP) model to learn the relationship between text and images through label awareness and train an imageaesthetic attribute scorer using an aesthetic attribute dataset. Then, we calculate the aesthetic similarity betweenthe image and related images and use this similarity as a threshold to divide the multimodal correlation matrixinto consistency and inconsistencymatrices. Finally, the fusionmodule is designed to identify essential features fordetectingmultimodal false information. In extensive experiments on four datasets, the performance of the ASMFDis superior to state-of-the-art baseline methods.

由Aesthetic到Productive:美学范式的后现代转换

"审美化(Aesthetic)"是美学的现代范式,它试图解决的基本问题是"感性-理性"的矛盾,而这与特定时代资本尚主要在物质生产领域运作进而"物质性-精神性"还是社会文化的主要矛盾有关。随着后现代大众消费社会的形成,资本开始在艺术等精神生产领域扩张,"物质性-精神性"的矛盾似乎正在消除或者退居次要位置,精神生产"商品化"与"娱乐消遣化"高度融合所形成的"消费化"正在成为主导趋向,针对这种"消费化",后现代美学的主导范式应由"审美化(Aesthetic)"转换成"生产化(Productive)",只有完成这种后现代转换,美学才能寻求到批判后现代日趋膨胀的消费主义的恰切的价值立足点。本文试图在马克思艺术"自由时间"生产论中,探寻生产化美学的价值立足点,揭示后现代艺术生产在"自由时间"与"必要时间"、"生产性享受"与"消费性享受"相分裂中所呈现出的内在对抗性。
