Misinformation Campaign

Misinformation campaigns, the deliberate spread of false or misleading information, are a significant area of research focusing on detection, understanding the mechanisms of spread, and developing countermeasures. Current research utilizes various machine learning models, including large language models (LLMs), natural language inference (NLI) models, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approaches, to analyze multilingual narratives, identify patterns in disinformation, and build detection systems. This work is crucial for mitigating the harmful effects of misinformation across diverse domains, from political discourse and public health to financial markets and scientific understanding, by improving the accuracy and efficiency of detection and response strategies.
