Multimodal Social Media Fake News Detection Based on Similarity Inference and Adversarial Networks

As social networks become increasingly complex, contemporary fake news often includes textual descriptionsof events accompanied by corresponding images or videos. Fake news in multiple modalities is more likely tocreate a misleading perception among users. While early research primarily focused on text-based features forfake news detection mechanisms, there has been relatively limited exploration of learning shared representationsin multimodal (text and visual) contexts. To address these limitations, this paper introduces a multimodal modelfor detecting fake news, which relies on similarity reasoning and adversarial networks. The model employsBidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) and Text Convolutional Neural Network (Text-CNN) for extracting textual features while utilizing the pre-trained Visual Geometry Group 19-layer (VGG-19) toextract visual features. Subsequently, the model establishes similarity representations between the textual featuresextracted by Text-CNN and visual features through similarity learning and reasoning. Finally, these features arefused to enhance the accuracy of fake news detection, and adversarial networks have been employed to investigatethe relationship between fake news and events. This paper validates the proposed model using publicly availablemultimodal datasets from Weibo and Twitter. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approachachieves superior performance on Twitter, with an accuracy of 86%, surpassing traditional unimodalmodalmodelsand existing multimodal models. In contrast, the overall better performance of our model on the Weibo datasetsurpasses the benchmark models across multiple metrics. The application of similarity reasoning and adversarialnetworks in multimodal fake news detection significantly enhances detection effectiveness in this paper. However,current research is limited to the fusion of only text and image modalities. Future research directions should aimto further integrate features fromadditionalmodalities to comprehensively represent themultifaceted informationof fake news.

A Model for Detecting Fake News by Integrating Domain-Specific Emotional and Semantic Features

With the rapid spread of Internet information and the spread of fake news,the detection of fake news becomes more and more important.Traditional detection methods often rely on a single emotional or semantic feature to identify fake news,but these methods have limitations when dealing with news in specific domains.In order to solve the problem of weak feature correlation between data from different domains,a model for detecting fake news by integrating domain-specific emotional and semantic features is proposed.This method makes full use of the attention mechanism,grasps the correlation between different features,and effectively improves the effect of feature fusion.The algorithm first extracts the semantic features of news text through the Bi-LSTM(Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory)layer to capture the contextual relevance of news text.Senta-BiLSTM is then used to extract emotional features and predict the probability of positive and negative emotions in the text.It then uses domain features as an enhancement feature and attention mechanism to fully capture more fine-grained emotional features associated with that domain.Finally,the fusion features are taken as the input of the fake news detection classifier,combined with the multi-task representation of information,and the MLP and Softmax functions are used for classification.The experimental results show that on the Chinese dataset Weibo21,the F1 value of this model is 0.958,4.9% higher than that of the sub-optimal model;on the English dataset FakeNewsNet,the F1 value of the detection result of this model is 0.845,1.8% higher than that of the sub-optimal model,which is advanced and feasible.

An Online Fake Review Detection Approach Using Famous Machine Learning Algorithms

Online review platforms are becoming increasingly popular,encouraging dishonest merchants and service providers to deceive customers by creating fake reviews for their goods or services.Using Sybil accounts,bot farms,and real account purchases,immoral actors demonize rivals and advertise their goods.Most academic and industry efforts have been aimed at detecting fake/fraudulent product or service evaluations for years.The primary hurdle to identifying fraudulent reviews is the lack of a reliable means to distinguish fraudulent reviews from real ones.This paper adopts a semi-supervised machine learning method to detect fake reviews on any website,among other things.Online reviews are classified using a semi-supervised approach(PU-learning)since there is a shortage of labeled data,and they are dynamic.Then,classification is performed using the machine learning techniques Support Vector Machine(SVM)and Nave Bayes.The performance of the suggested system has been compared with standard works,and experimental findings are assessed using several assessment metrics.

Fake News Detection Based on Text-Modal Dominance and Fusing Multiple Multi-Model Clues

In recent years,how to efficiently and accurately identify multi-model fake news has become more challenging.First,multi-model data provides more evidence but not all are equally important.Secondly,social structure information has proven to be effective in fake news detection and how to combine it while reducing the noise information is critical.Unfortunately,existing approaches fail to handle these problems.This paper proposes a multi-model fake news detection framework based on Tex-modal Dominance and fusing Multiple Multi-model Cues(TD-MMC),which utilizes three valuable multi-model clues:text-model importance,text-image complementary,and text-image inconsistency.TD-MMC is dominated by textural content and assisted by image information while using social network information to enhance text representation.To reduce the irrelevant social structure’s information interference,we use a unidirectional cross-modal attention mechanism to selectively learn the social structure’s features.A cross-modal attention mechanism is adopted to obtain text-image cross-modal features while retaining textual features to reduce the loss of important information.In addition,TD-MMC employs a new multi-model loss to improve the model’s generalization ability.Extensive experiments have been conducted on two public real-world English and Chinese datasets,and the results show that our proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on classification evaluation metrics.

Fake News Detection Based on Cross-Modal Message Aggregation and Gated Fusion Network

Social media has become increasingly significant in modern society,but it has also turned into a breeding ground for the propagation of misleading information,potentially causing a detrimental impact on public opinion and daily life.Compared to pure text content,multmodal content significantly increases the visibility and share ability of posts.This has made the search for efficient modality representations and cross-modal information interaction methods a key focus in the field of multimodal fake news detection.To effectively address the critical challenge of accurately detecting fake news on social media,this paper proposes a fake news detection model based on crossmodal message aggregation and a gated fusion network(MAGF).MAGF first uses BERT to extract cumulative textual feature representations and word-level features,applies Faster Region-based ConvolutionalNeuralNetwork(Faster R-CNN)to obtain image objects,and leverages ResNet-50 and Visual Geometry Group-19(VGG-19)to obtain image region features and global features.The image region features and word-level text features are then projected into a low-dimensional space to calculate a text-image affinity matrix for cross-modal message aggregation.The gated fusion network combines text and image region features to obtain adaptively aggregated features.The interaction matrix is derived through an attention mechanism and further integrated with global image features using a co-attention mechanism to producemultimodal representations.Finally,these fused features are fed into a classifier for news categorization.Experiments were conducted on two public datasets,Twitter and Weibo.Results show that the proposed model achieves accuracy rates of 91.8%and 88.7%on the two datasets,respectively,significantly outperforming traditional unimodal and existing multimodal models.

Customized Convolutional Neural Network for Accurate Detection of Deep Fake Images in Video Collections

The motivation for this study is that the quality of deep fakes is constantly improving,which leads to the need to develop new methods for their detection.The proposed Customized Convolutional Neural Network method involves extracting structured data from video frames using facial landmark detection,which is then used as input to the CNN.The customized Convolutional Neural Network method is the date augmented-based CNN model to generate‘fake data’or‘fake images’.This study was carried out using Python and its libraries.We used 242 films from the dataset gathered by the Deep Fake Detection Challenge,of which 199 were made up and the remaining 53 were real.Ten seconds were allotted for each video.There were 318 videos used in all,199 of which were fake and 119 of which were real.Our proposedmethod achieved a testing accuracy of 91.47%,loss of 0.342,and AUC score of 0.92,outperforming two alternative approaches,CNN and MLP-CNN.Furthermore,our method succeeded in greater accuracy than contemporary models such as XceptionNet,Meso-4,EfficientNet-BO,MesoInception-4,VGG-16,and DST-Net.The novelty of this investigation is the development of a new Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)learning model that can accurately detect deep fake face photos.

Explainable Deep Fake Framework for Images Creation and Classification

Deep learning is a practical and efficient technique that has been used extensively in many domains. Using deep learning technology, deepfakes create fake images of a person that people cannot distinguish from the real one. Recently, many researchers have focused on understanding how deepkakes work and detecting using deep learning approaches. This paper introduces an explainable deepfake framework for images creation and classification. The framework consists of three main parts: the first approach is called Instant ID which is used to create deepfacke images from the original one;the second approach called Xception classifies the real and deepfake images;the third approach called Local Interpretable Model (LIME) provides a method for interpreting the predictions of any machine learning model in a local and interpretable manner. Our study proposes deepfake approach that achieves 100% precision and 100% accuracy for deepfake creation and classification. Furthermore, the results highlight the superior performance of the proposed model in deep fake creation and classification.

Hunter Prey Optimization with Hybrid Deep Learning for Fake News Detection on Arabic Corpus

Nowadays,the usage of socialmedia platforms is rapidly increasing,and rumours or false information are also rising,especially among Arab nations.This false information is harmful to society and individuals.Blocking and detecting the spread of fake news in Arabic becomes critical.Several artificial intelligence(AI)methods,including contemporary transformer techniques,BERT,were used to detect fake news.Thus,fake news in Arabic is identified by utilizing AI approaches.This article develops a new hunterprey optimization with hybrid deep learning-based fake news detection(HPOHDL-FND)model on the Arabic corpus.The HPOHDL-FND technique undergoes extensive data pre-processing steps to transform the input data into a useful format.Besides,the HPOHDL-FND technique utilizes long-term memory with a recurrent neural network(LSTM-RNN)model for fake news detection and classification.Finally,hunter prey optimization(HPO)algorithm is exploited for optimal modification of the hyperparameters related to the LSTM-RNN model.The performance validation of the HPOHDL-FND technique is tested using two Arabic datasets.The outcomes exemplified better performance over the other existing techniques with maximum accuracy of 96.57%and 93.53%on Covid19Fakes and satirical datasets,respectively.

Fake News Encoder Classifier (FNEC) for Online Published News Related to COVID-19 Vaccines

In the past few years,social media and online news platforms have played an essential role in distributing news content rapidly.Consequently.verification of the authenticity of news has become a major challenge.During the COVID-19 outbreak,misinformation and fake news were major sources of confusion and insecurity among the general public.In the first quarter of the year 2020,around 800 people died due to fake news relevant to COVID-19.The major goal of this research was to discover the best learning model for achieving high accuracy and performance.A novel case study of the Fake News Classification using ELECTRA model,which achieved 85.11%accuracy score,is thus reported in this manuscript.In addition to that,a new novel dataset called COVAX-Reality containing COVID-19 vaccine-related news has been contributed.Using the COVAX-Reality dataset,the performance of FNEC is compared to several traditional learning models i.e.,Support Vector Machine(SVM),Naive Bayes(NB),Passive Aggressive Classifier(PAC),Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),Bi-directional LSTM(Bi-LSTM)and Bi-directional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT).For the evaluation of FNEC,standard metrics(Precision,Recall,Accuracy,and F1-Score)were utilized.

Fake News Detection Based on Multimodal Inputs

In view of the various adverse effects,fake news detection has become an extremely important task.So far,many detection methods have been proposed,but these methods still have some limitations.For example,only two independently encoded unimodal information are concatenated together,but not integrated with multimodal information to complete the complementary information,and to obtain the correlated information in the news content.This simple fusion approach may lead to the omission of some information and bring some interference to the model.To solve the above problems,this paper proposes the FakeNewsDetectionmodel based on BLIP(FNDB).First,the XLNet and VGG-19 based feature extractors are used to extract textual and visual feature representation respectively,and BLIP based multimodal feature extractor to obtain multimodal feature representation in news content.Then,the feature fusion layer will fuse these features with the help of the cross-modal attention module to promote various modal feature representations for information complementation.The fake news detector uses these fused features to identify the input content,and finally complete fake news detection.Based on this design,FNDB can extract as much information as possible from the news content and fuse the information between multiple modalities effectively.The fake news detector in the FNDB can also learn more information to achieve better performance.The verification experiments on Weibo and Gossipcop,two widely used real-world datasets,show that FNDB is 4.4%and 0.6%higher in accuracy than the state-of-theart fake news detection methods,respectively.

Fake News Detection Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Methods

The evolution of the internet and its accessibility in the twenty-first century has resulted in a tremendous increase in the use of social media platforms.Some social media sources contribute to the propagation of fake news that has no real validity,but they accumulate over time and begin to appear in the feed of every consumer producing even more ambiguity.To sustain the value of social media,such stories must be distinguished from the true ones.As a result,an automated system is required to save time and money.The classification of fake news and misinformation from social media data corpora is the subject of this research.Several preprocessing and data improvement procedures are used to gather and preprocess two fake news datasets.Deep text features are extracted using word embedding models Word2vec and Global Vectors for Word representation while textual features are extracted using n-gram approaches named Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency and Bag of Words from both datasets individually.Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT)is also employed to derive embedded representations from the input data.Finally,three Machine Learning(ML)and two Deep Learning(DL)algorithms are utilized for fake news classification.BERT also carries out the classification of embedded outcomes generated by it in parallel with the ML and DL models.In terms of overall performance,the DL-based Convolutional Neural Network stands out in the case of the first while BERT performs better in the case of the second dataset.

联合异质图卷积网络和注意力机制的假新闻检测

社交媒体平台的开放性和包容性为人们提供了自由的表达方式,但也引发了新的社会问题,假新闻在社交平台层出不穷,会引起公众恐慌,侵害人们的精神健康,这使得假新闻检测尤为必要.现有的假新闻检测方法大多侧重于从文本内容、用户和传播模式中挖掘有效信息,但是这些方法没有充分利用文本内容的全局语义关系.为了有效融合新闻内容的全局语义信息和新闻传播的全局结构关系,本文提出一种基于元路径的推文-词-用户异质图卷积注意力框架HGCAN,根据元路径将构建的推文-词-用户异质图分解为两个子图,通过图卷积网络提取传播结构特征,利用注意力机制聚合邻居节点的信息并学习子图重要性,从而有效学习节点的特征表示.在两个公开数据集上的实验结果表明,相比于其他方法,本文方法在准确率和F1指标上都取得了较为先进的结果.
