Project description:
This project will develop an open-set misinformation classification model, which addresses several challenges in misinformation. The proposed model will be designed under an open-set (i.e. infinite number of misinformation categories) assumption, which provides robust category classification performance with continuously evolving misinformation categories. The model will also provide new category detection functionality with prediction explanation to help fact-checkers and relevant professionals discover shifts in misinformation topics. The project will also investigate few-shot learning approaches to allow fast model adaptation in response to misinformation category evolution.
You will carry out research on the latest advances in computational methods for analysing onlinebmisinformation, and more specifically, investigate multilingual deep learning methods. Within the studentship, there is expectation to disseminate via national and international conferences and journals.
In this studentship, you will work in the well-connected, world-leading Natural Language Processing (NLP) research group at **MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***., which has a reputation for internationally leading research and is one of the largest such groups in Europe.
