Cross-lingual Transfer Learning for Fake News Detector in a Low-Resource Language
share
Development of methods to detect fake news (FN) in low-resource languages has been impeded by a lack of training data. In this study, we solve the problem by using only training data from a high-resource language. Our FN-detection system permitted this strategy by applying adversarial learning that transfers the detection knowledge through languages. To assist the knowledge transfer, our system judges the reliability of articles by exploiting source information, which is a cross-lingual feature that represents the credibility of the speaker. In experiments, our system got 3.71 that uses a machine-translated training dataset. In addition, our suggested cross-lingual feature exploitation for fake news detection improved accuracy by 3.03
