Efficient filtering of adult content using textual information
Nowadays adult content represents a non negligible proportion of the Web
content. It is of the utmost importance to protect children from this content.
Search engines, as an entry point for Web navigation are ideally placed to deal
with this issue.
In this paper, we propose a method that builds a safe index i.e.
adult-content free for search engines. This method is based on a filter that
uses only textual information from the web page and the associated URL
CIMTDetect: A Community Infused Matrix-Tensor Coupled Factorization Based Method for Fake News Detection
Detecting whether a news article is fake or genuine is a crucial task in
today's digital world where it's easy to create and spread a misleading news
article. This is especially true of news stories shared on social media since
they don't undergo any stringent journalistic checking associated with main
stream media. Given the inherent human tendency to share information with their
social connections at a mouse-click, fake news articles masquerading as real
ones, tend to spread widely and virally. The presence of echo chambers (people
sharing same beliefs) in social networks, only adds to this problem of
wide-spread existence of fake news on social media. In this paper, we tackle
the problem of fake news detection from social media by exploiting the very
presence of echo chambers that exist within the social network of users to
obtain an efficient and informative latent representation of the news article.
By modeling the echo-chambers as closely-connected communities within the
social network, we represent a news article as a 3-mode tensor of the structure
- and propose a tensor factorization based method to
encode the news article in a latent embedding space preserving the community
structure. We also propose an extension of the above method, which jointly
models the community and content information of the news article through a
coupled matrix-tensor factorization framework. We empirically demonstrate the
efficacy of our method for the task of Fake News Detection over two real-world
datasets. Further, we validate the generalization of the resulting embeddings
over two other auxiliary tasks, namely: \textbf{1)} News Cohort Analysis and
\textbf{2)} Collaborative News Recommendation. Our proposed method outperforms
appropriate baselines for both the tasks, establishing its generalization.Comment: Presented at ASONAM'1
