TLDR
Li et al. as discussed by the authors designed a hybrid convolutional neural network to integrate meta-data with text and showed that this hybrid approach can improve a text-only deep learning model.Abstract:
Automatic fake news detection is a challenging problem in deception detection, and it has tremendous real-world political and social impacts. However, statistical approaches to combating fake news has been dramatically limited by the lack of labeled benchmark datasets. In this paper, we present LIAR: a new, publicly available dataset for fake news detection. We collected a decade-long, 12.8K manually labeled short statements in various contexts from PolitiFact.com, which provides detailed analysis report and links to source documents for each case. This dataset can be used for fact-checking research as well. Notably, this new dataset is an order of magnitude larger than previously largest public fake news datasets of similar type. Empirically, we investigate automatic fake news detection based on surface-level linguistic patterns. We have designed a novel, hybrid convolutional neural network to integrate meta-data with text. We show that this hybrid approach can improve a text-only deep learning model.read more

MIND - Mainstream and Independent News Documents Corpus.
TL;DR: The MIND corpus as mentioned in this paper is a new Portuguese corpus comprised of different types of articles collected from online mainstream and alternative media sources, over a 10-month period, and the articles in the corpus are organized into five collections: facts, opinions, entertainment, satires, and conspiracy theories.

Towards Trustworthy Deception Detection: Benchmarking Model Robustness across Domains, Modalities, and Languages
TL;DR: The authors evaluate model robustness to out-of-domain data, modality-specific features, and languages other than English, and find that with additional image content as input, ELMo embeddings yield significantly fewer errors compared to BERT or GLoVe.

Compilation and Validation of a Large Fake News Dataset in Hungarian
TL;DR: In this paper, a large dataset of 80 547 legitimate and 67 547 fake news articles from trusted and deceptive Hungarian web portals is compiled to help the scientific community in studying the fake news phenomenon, which is validated by conducting text classification experiments on the news stories, using traditional bag-of-words and more recent neural network models.

Long short-term memory
TL;DR: A novel, efficient, gradient based method called long short-term memory (LSTM) is introduced, which can learn to bridge minimal time lags in excess of 1000 discrete-time steps by enforcing constant error flow through constant error carousels within special units.

Efficient Estimation of Word Representations in Vector Space
TL;DR: This paper proposed two novel model architectures for computing continuous vector representations of words from very large data sets, and the quality of these representations is measured in a word similarity task and the results are compared to the previously best performing techniques based on different types of neural networks.

Character-level convolutional networks for text classification
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of character-level convolutional networks (ConvNets) for text classification has been explored and compared with traditional models such as bag of words, n-grams and their TFIDF variants.
