    FakeRevealer: A Multimodal Framework for Revealing the Falsity of Online Tweets Using Transformer-Based Architectures
    (Scitepress, 2023) Sharma, Yashvardhan; Chauhan, Gajendra Singh
    As the Internet has evolved, the exposure and widespread adoption of social media concepts have altered the way news is formed and published. With the help of social media, getting news is cheaper, faster, and easier. However, this has also led to an increase in the number of fake news articles, either by manipulating the text or morphing the images. The spread of fake news has become a serious issue all over the world. In one case, at least 20 people were killed just because of false information that was circulated over a social media platform. This makes it clear that social media sites need a system that uses more than one method to spot fake news stories. To solve this problem, we’ve come up with FakeRevealer, a single-configuration fake news detection system that works on transfer learning based techniques. Our multi-modal archutecture understands the textual features using a language transformer model called DistilRoBERTa and image features are extracted using the Vision Transf ormer (ViTs) that is pre-trained on ImageNet 21K. After feature extraction, a cosine similarity measure is used to fuse both the features. The evaluation of our proposed framework is done over publicly available twitter dataset and results shows that it outperforms current state-of-art on twitter dataset with an accuracy of 80.00% which is 2.23%more, that than the current state-of-art on twitter dataset

    Impact of Transformer-Based Models and User Clustering in Early Fake News Detection in Social Media
    (Scitepress, 2023) Sharma, Yashvardhan; Chauhan, Gajendra Singh
    People are now consuming news on social media platforms rather than through traditional sources as a result of easy access to the internet. This has allowed for the recent rise in the online dissemination of false information. The spread of false information seriously damages people’s reputations and the public’s trust in them. The research community has recently given fake news identification a great deal of attention, and prior studies have mainly concentrated on finding hints in news content or diffusion graphs. The older models, on the other hand, didn’t have the key features needed to spot fake news quickly. We focus on finding fake news by using features that are available when it is just starting to spread. The current work suggests a new framework made up of content-based features taken from news articles and social-context features taken from user characteristics and responses at the sentence level. In addition, we extend our approach to Transformer-based models and leverage user clustering to demonstrate a considerable performance gain over the original model.
