Overview
Overview
The DEPLATFORM project addresses a critical paradox of modern media digitization: while the real-time accessibility of news on social networks offers immense advantages, it also creates severe societal risks through the rise of agents that manufacture and spread online misinformation. To combat this, DEPLATFORM aims to empower social media users to separate truth from falsehood by developing an intelligent, interactive system dedicated to detecting the veracity of news published online.
Key Objectives
Key Objectives
Advanced Veracity Detection: To develop novel ensemble deep neural network models that significantly improve fake news detection by simultaneously analyzing diverse textual features and information diffusion graphs.
Network Immunization: To design and implement innovative social network immunization strategies capable of actively halting the spread of misinformation online.
Innovation and Impact
Innovation and Impact
By moving beyond passive detection into active containment, DEPLATFORM will offer a vital defense mechanism for democratic processes, reduce ideological polarization, and equip the public with an actionable tool to combat digital deception.
