摘要:

今天的在线用户每天都面临着误导性和宣传性的新闻文章和媒体帖子。为了应对这种情况,已经设计了一些方法,旨在实现更健康和更安全的在线新闻和媒体消费。自动化系统能够支持人类检测这些内容;然而,它们广泛采用的主要障碍是,除了准确之外,这些系统的决策还需要可解释,以便被用户信任和广泛采用。由于误导性和宣传性的内容通过使用一些欺骗技术影响读者,我们建议检测和显示使用这些技术作为一种方式来提供可解释性。特别是,我们定义定性描述功能,我们分析其适用性检测欺骗技术。我们进一步表明,我们的可解释特征可以轻松地与预训练的语言模型相结合,从而产生最先进的结果。

英文摘要:

Online users today are exposed to misleading and propagandistic news articles and media posts on a daily basis. To counter thus, a number of approaches have been designed aiming to achieve a healthier and safer online news and media consumption. Automatic systems are able to support humans in detecting such content; yet, a major impediment to their broad adoption is that besides being accurate, the decisions of such systems need also to be interpretable in order to be trusted and widely adopted by users. Since misleading and propagandistic content influences readers through the use of a number of deception techniques, we propose to detect and to show the use of such techniques as a way to offer interpretability. In particular, we define qualitatively descriptive features and we analyze their suitability for detecting deception techniques. We further show that our interpretable features can be easily combined with pre-trained language models, yielding state-of-the-art results.
