Evidencepartial
Among news disorders, propagandist news are particularly insidious, because they tend to mix oriented messages with factual reports intended to look like reliable news.
Implicationpartial
Directly stated in the abstract as a foundational premise of the research
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
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.
Implicationpartial
Directly stated in the abstract as a motivation for the proposed method
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
we propose a neurosymbolic approach combining non-contextual text embeddings (fastText) with symbolic conceptual features such as genre, topic, and persuasion techniques.
Implicationpartial
Directly and explicitly stated as the core method in the abstract
Verificationpartial
