10.48550/arXiv.2604.01936A neurosymbolic model enhances news classification robustness by combining text embeddings with symbolic features like genre, topic, and persuasion techniques.
Abstract
Among news disorders, propagandist news are particularly insidious, because they tend to mix oriented messages with factual reports intended to look like reliable news. To detect propaganda, extant approaches based on Language Models such as BERT are promising but often overfit their training datasets, due to biases in data collection. To enhance classification robustness and improve generalization to new sources, we propose a neurosymbolic approach combining non-contextual text embeddings (fastText) with symbolic conceptual features such as genre, topic, and persuasion techniques. Results show improvements over equivalent text-only methods, and ablation studies as well as explainability analyses confirm the benefits of the added features. Keywords: Information disorder, Fake news, Propaganda, Classification, Topic modeling, Hybrid method, Neurosymbolic model, Ablation, Robustness
