Beyond Speculation: Measuring the Growing Presence of LLM-Generated Texts in Multilingual DisinformationThis empirical study provides the first measurement of LLM-generated content in real-world disinformation datasets. Analyzing the MultiClaim dataset (fact-checked social media posts), the authors document a 99% increase in machine-generated content from 2021 to 2023 (0.93% to 1.85%), correlating with ChatGPT's November 2022 release.

Bridging Thoughts and Words: Graph-Based Intent-Semantic Joint Learning for Fake News DetectionExisting fake news detectors rely on surface-level semantic patterns (emotional language, stylistic cues) and fail when writing styles shift. This paper proposes InSIDE, which combines semantic and intent signals via heterogeneous graphs: intent models the purpose behind an article (e.g., promoting a product), while semantics capture…

Is Less Really More? Fake News Detection with Limited InformationSLIM (Systematically-selected Limited Information) replaces full news article text with strategically chosen subsets — extracted keywords, POS/NER sequence tags, or textual metadata — to address the computational cost and data-sparsity limitations of full-text fake news detection. Information-theoretic measures (normalized Shannon…

Exposing the Deception: Uncovering More Forgery Clues for Deepfake DetectionThis paper proposes a framework for deepfake detection that extracts both local and global forgery clues by decomposing facial features into disentangled local representations. Using mutual information theory to ensure comprehensive yet non-overlapping feature extraction, the method achieves state-of-the-art results on five benchmark…
