1. “Business understanding”
What IS fake news?
 
Fake news – a definition
 
Fake news […] is where individuals or organisations
intentionally publish hoaxes, propaganda and other
misinformation and present it as factual.
This can include blog and social media posts and fake
online media releases.
It does not include news satire sites such as The Onion or
The Shovel as they are not presenting their content as
legitimate factual news. Their intention is satire rather than
misinformation.
It also does not include articles that are written from the
perspective of a particular opinion or editorial standpoint,
provided the information included is factually correct.

Actually, “fake news” was often used to
denote precisely these news outlets before
Trump made the term’s current meaning
popular …
 
Weekend Update
 
Beginning in 1975
with Chevy Chase,
Weekend Update
quickly became a
favorite skit among
all of Saturday
Night Live’s
infamous sketches.
 
“Good night, and have
a pleasant tomorrow.”
      
-Chevy Chase
Slide from (Bennett et al., 2016)
 
Weekend Update
 
Focusing on satirical
commentary of actual
events, Weekend
update also features
complete fabrication.
 
See Tina Fey in
Weekend Update

The Daily Show
 
First aired on July
22
nd
, 1996 by Craig
Kilborn, who was
later replaced by
current host and
“anchorman” Jon
Stewart
The Daily Show 
exists
as a news parody
program, and has
gained a reputation as
one of the sharpest
political commentaries
on television
Slide from (Bennett et al., 2016)
 
The Daily Show
 
Winner of 9 Emmys, 9 other
wins, and 23 nominations
Focuses on humorous
retellings of actual current
events
Though intentionally unreliable
as a news source, many young
Americans admit to gaining the
majority of their current events
news from The Daily Show.

The Colbert Report
 
Starring Stephen Colbert,
existing as a political
satire
A spin-off of 
The Daily
Show
, 
The Colbert
Report
 parodies
personality driven political
pundit programs like 
The
O’Reilly Factor
Notorious for its
“truthiness” and faux-
conservative tinge
Slide from (Bennett et al., 2016)
 
The Onion
 
Weekly published parody newspaper
 
Satirizes current events which are both
real and made up.
 
Formed in 1988 in Madison, WI. Gained
popularity with its website in 1996.
Started to break into the mainstream in
2000.
 
Has A.V. section which covers the arts
and entertainments truthfully, but
humorously.

Intention?
 
The intentionality of deception is also a
requirement in Rubin et al.’s (2015) definition
Whose intentionality?
Creator of the news?
E.g. Governments (
 WMD example)
The press
Purveyor of the news?

Social media

X “without the metadata that it is satire”,
And B reads and believes it
Then did A create and/or spread FN?
 
 
"
On Bullshit
" (2005), by 
philosopher
Harry G. Frankfurt
, is an essay that
presents a theory of 
bullshit
 that defines
the concept and analyzes the
applications of bullshit in the contexts of
communication. Frankfurt determines
that bullshit is speech intended to
persuade (a.k.a. 
rhetoric
), without regard
for truth.
The liar cares about the truth and
attempts to hide it;
the bullshitter doesn't care if what
they say is true or false, but rather
only cares whether or not their
listener is persuaded.

“ground

 What is the task?
 
 
 
(Human) strategies
 
Human strategies translate to various
machine tasks
 
 
Strategy “Read past the headline”
 
The goal of the 
Fake News Challenge
 is to explore how artificial intelligence
technologies, particularly machine learning and natural language processing,
might be leveraged to combat the fake news problem. We believe that these AI
technologies hold promise for significantly automating parts of the procedure
human fact checkers use today to determine if a story is real or a hoax.
Assessing the veracity of a news story is a complex and cumbersome task, even for
trained experts 
3
. Fortunately, the process can be broken down into steps or
stages. A helpful first step towards identifying fake news is to understand what
other news organizations are saying about the topic. We believe automating this
process, called 
Stance Detection
, could serve as a useful building block in an AI-
assisted fact-checking pipeline. So stage #1 of the 
Fake News Challenge (FNC-1)
focuses on the task of Stance Detection.
Stance Detection involves estimating the relative perspective (or stance) of two
pieces of text relative to a topic, claim or issue. The version of Stance Detection we
have selected for FNC-1 extends the work of Ferreira & Vlachos 
4
. For FNC-1 we
have chosen the task of estimating the stance of a body text from a news article
relative to a headline. Specifically, the body text may agree, disagree, discuss or be
unrelated to the headline.

news article (news report, editorial, expose,
etc.) being intentionally deceptive”

Classification by Conroy et al. (2015)
 
Linguistic approaches
Mainly word-based
Syntax-based approaches
Semantic analysis
Compare “profile” of document with others known to be genuine
Rhetorical structure and discourse analysis
Systematic differences between deceptive and truthful messages in terms of their
coherence and structure
Classifiers
Classification of sentiment: assumption that deceivers use unintended emotional
communication
In sum, linguistic approaches most suited to domain-specific studies (e.g.
product reviews, business), may have limited generalizability

What about the other strategies?
 
I would add:
 
Don’t assume
something is
true just
because it is
entertaining.
 
Maybe the satire news point to some
other cause?
 
News consumption as entertainment
Including satire-news?

Are you a subscriber to a “real”

Do you know what it costs?
 
 
Just one example

5. Evaluation
 
 
Slide from (Hanselowski & Gurevych, 2017)
 
Important:
observations about the data and the solution
(from the FNC-1’s SOLAT in the SWEN team)
 
After exploring the dataset, a few features that are likely to be informative of
headline/body relationships became obvious -- for example:
The number overlapping words between the headline and body text;
Similarities measured between the word count, 2-grams and 3-grams; and
Similarities measured after transforming these counts with term frequency-inverse
document frequency (
TF-IDF
) weighting and Singular Value Decomposition (
SVD
).
 
Using these features, it is not necessary to use a powerful and expressive model to
learn the complex mapping from these features to the stance label.
For this, Gradient-Boosted Decision Trees were chosen because of the model’s
robustness with regard to the different scales of our feature vectors.  Specifically, no
normalization is needed and it can be regularized in several different ways to avoid
overfitting. Furthermore, 
XGBoost
 is a very efficient, open-source implementation that
was easily applied to the handcrafted features.
http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/06/talos-fake-news-challenge.html
 
Human performance as an upper
bound?
 
Bond & DePaulo (2006)
Meta-analysis of >200 experiments
How good are humans at detecting lies in
text?
4% better than chance
 
Laypeople and experts?!
 
 
Another corpus: LIAR
 
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.
