Misinformation Datasets

Misinformation datasets are crucial for developing and evaluating automated methods to detect false or misleading information online. Current research focuses on creating larger, more diverse datasets encompassing various modalities (text, images, video) and languages, often leveraging large language models (LLMs) for both data generation and analysis. These datasets are essential for training and benchmarking advanced models, including those based on LLMs, neural networks, and hybrid approaches that incorporate symbolic knowledge, ultimately aiming to improve the accuracy and efficiency of misinformation detection systems. The resulting advancements have significant implications for combating the spread of misinformation across social media and news platforms.
