Title
Five Shades of Untruth: Finer-Grained Classification of Fake News.
Abstract
Prior work on algorithmic truth assessment on unreliable content, has mostly pursued binary classifiers - factual vs. fake - and disregarded the finer shades of untruth. On the other hand, manual analysis of questionable content has proposed a more fine-grained classification: distinguishing between hoaxes, irony and propaganda, or the six-way rating by the PolitiFact community. In this paper, we present a principled approach to capture these finer shades in automatically assessing and classifying news articles and claims. We systematically explore a variety of signals from both news and social media, and give an analysis of the underlying features.
