Wisdom of crowds: CofCED

🚩 The codes and datasets have been uploaded!

A Coarse-to-fine Cascaded Evidence-Distillation Neural Network for Explainable Fake News Detection is accepted by COLING 2022. CofCED is an explainable method proposed by this paper. We present the first study on explainable fake news detection directly utilizing the wisdom of crowds (raw reports), alleviating the dependency on fact-checked reports.
