Brief description Combating Fake News on Social Media: From Early Detection to Intervention. The project aims to detect fake news early to minimise the negative impact of false information. This project expects to devise novel solutions to address technical challenges for detection of fake news with scarce signals. Expected outcomes of this project include a suite of data mining and machine learning models for identification of fake news from the social media stream, prediction of user propagation of false information as well as recommendation of truthful news to counteract adversarial fake news. This project should generate technologies that enhance the integrity of the online echo system and benefit media providers and online population within Australia and across the world.
