VeriSpoof: Beyond Real or Fake with One Audio LLMVeriSpoof is an audio language model system that unifies multiple forensic tasks in a single neural framework: detecting whether a speech recording is synthetic, identifying which generator produced it, analyzing recording conditions, and verifying whether two recordings share a source. The system achieves state-of-the-art results on…

VEX-Bench: Benchmarking Verification Complexity of LLM-Generated MisinformationThis paper introduces VEX-Bench, a unified benchmark for evaluating how difficult it is to verify LLM-generated misinformation. The benchmark measures verification complexity across five dimensions: checkability (whether claims can be checked), harm significance, source credibility signals, impostor legitimacy, and verification cost.

Agentic Mixed-Source Multi-Modal Misinformation Detection with Adaptive Test-Time ScalingVision-language models struggle with mixed-source multi-modal misinformation, where false information combines manipulated images with misleading text or text-image mismatches. This paper proposes AgentM³D, a hierarchical multi-agent framework that decomposes detection into modality-specific agents (textual, visual, cross-modal…

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.

Prompt-Induced Linguistic Fingerprints for LLM-Generated Fake News DetectionLLMs can generate convincing fake news, but malicious prompts induce consistent statistical divergences in token-level reconstruction probabilities. The authors propose LIFE (Linguistic Fingerprints Extraction), which identifies key fragments where real and fake news differ most in their probability signature, achieving 93.7% accuracy on…

E-FreeM2: Efficient Training-Free Multi-Scale and Cross-Modal News Verification via MLLMsE-FreeM2 is a training-free, retrieval-based multimodal system for out-of-context (OOC) misinformation detection that leverages pretrained vision-language models (MLLMs) and two-stage chain-of-thought reasoning. By dynamically retrieving cross-modal evidence and ranking via visual similarity, the method achieves 90.0% overall accuracy on…

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…

Propasafe: A BERT-based offline tool for propaganda detectionOriginal privacy-focused, offline browser extension using fine-tuned BERT on the Propaganda Techniques Corpus for sentence-level propaganda classification. No online inference required; binary classification (propaganda or non-propaganda).

RAIDAR: Generative AI Detection via RewritingThis paper introduces Raidar, a method to detect machine-generated text by measuring how much LLMs modify text when asked to rewrite it. The key observation is that LLMs tend to preserve AI-generated text and modify human-written text more when rewriting.

Can LLM-Generated Misinformation Be Detected?LLM-generated misinformation (from ChatGPT, Llama, Vicuna) is detectably harder for both humans and automated detectors to identify than human-written misinformation with identical semantics. The paper builds a taxonomy of LLM-generated misinformation across types, domains, and generation methods, then empirically demonstrates that…

The Looming Threat of Fake and LLM-generated LinkedIn Profiles: Challenges and Opportunities for Detection and PreventionLinkedIn's lack of verification enables fake accounts that harm legitimate users and the platform's integrity. This work introduces a dataset of 3600 profiles (legitimate, manually created fake, and ChatGPT-generated) and proposes SSTE, a method that detects fake profiles immediately after registration using only profile text.

Disinformation 2.0 in the Age of AI: A Cybersecurity PerspectiveDisinformation should be treated as a cybersecurity threat, particularly as AI advances enable its creation and dissemination at unprecedented scale. The paper introduces "disinformation 2.0"—where generative AI, perturbation techniques, detection evasion, and optimized spread strategies make false content more persuasive and harder to…

The Amplification Paradox in Recommender SystemsAlgorithmic audits find that blindly following YouTube recommendations leads to extreme content, yet real user logs show recommendations don't drive extreme content consumption. Using an agent-based model with realistic user preferences, the authors show this paradox arises because users rarely consume niche content even when recommended…

DetectGPT: Zero-Shot Machine-Generated Text Detection using Probability CurvatureThis paper identifies that text sampled from language models tends to occupy negative-curvature regions of the model's log-probability landscape, whereas human-written text occupies more neutral regions. DetectGPT leverages this observation to detect machine-generated text in a zero-shot manner by analyzing probability curvature, without…

All the News That's Fit to Fabricate: AI-Generated Text as a Tool of Media MisinformationThree experiments investigate whether AI-generated news text can be credible and influence public opinion. The authors find that GPT-2 models (355M to 1.5B parameters) generate text nearly indistinguishable from human-written baseline news, particularly when politically congruent stories are paired with partisan audiences.

Towards Fine-Grained Reasoning for Fake News DetectionThe paper proposes FinerFact, a framework for fake news detection that models reasoning at the claim-evidence level rather than the document level. It constructs claim-evidence graphs and uses mutual-reinforcement-based ranking to identify salient evidence, then applies a bi-channel kernel graph network to reason over evidence groups.
