Detecting Misinformation in Multimedia Content through Cross-Modal Entity Consistency: A Dual Learning Approach

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The landscape of social media content has evolved significantly, extending from text to multimodal formats. This evolution presents a significant challenge in combating misinformation. Previous research has primarily focused on single modalities or text-image combinations, leaving a gap in detecting multimodal misinformation. While the concept of entity consistency holds promise in detecting multimodal misinformation, simplifying the representation to a scalar value overlooks the inherent complexities of high-dimensional representations across different modalities. To address these limitations, we propose a Multimedia Misinformation Detection (MultiMD) framework for detecting misinformation from video content by leveraging cross-modal entity consistency. The proposed dual learning approach allows for not only enhancing misinformation detection performance but also improving representation learning of entity consistency across different modalities. Our results demonstrate that MultiMD outperforms state-of-the-art baseline models and underscore the importance of each modality in misinformation detection. Our research provides novel methodological and technical insights into multimodal misinformation detection.


Walden University deploys new AI 'digital human' Linda that analyzes student gestures, talks and emotes

FOX News

Walden University students are actively using three AI tools, Linda, Charlotte and Julian to set themselves up for educational success. A Minnesota university is actively using several unique artificial intelligence (AI) models to help tutor students, complete assignments and bolster their verbal and non-verbal communication skills. Adtalem Chief Customer Officer Steve Tom has helped to deploy three distinct AI systems: Charlotte, Linda, and Julian at Walden University. The tools help counseling students prepare for their careers by working with "digital people" to cultivate communication and crisis management skills. Charlotte is a digital assistant chatbot that can help students stay on top of tasks and assignments to navigate a class curriculum efficiently.

The Download: bots for the brokenhearted, and AI for life and death decisions

MIT Technology Review

My colleague Charlotte embarked on an experiment during the pandemic. She created digital versions of her parents. They're voice assistants constructed by the company HereAfter AI, powered by more than four hours of conversations they each had with an interviewer about their lives and memories. Technology like this, which lets you "talk" to people who've died, has been a mainstay of science fiction for decades. While Charlotte's real, flesh-and-blood parents are still alive and well, their avatars offer a glimpse at a world where it's possible to converse with loved ones--or simulacra of them--long after they're gone.


Hurricane Ian Destroyed Their Homes. Algorithms Sent Them Money

WIRED

When Hurricane Ian churned over Florida in late September, it left a trail of destruction from high winds and flooding. But a week after the storm passed, some people in three of the worst-hit counties saw an unexpected beacon of hope. Nearly 3,500 residents of Collier, Charlotte, and Lee Counties received a push notification on their smartphones offering $700 cash assistance, no questions asked. A Google algorithm deployed in partnership with nonprofit GiveDirectly had estimated from satellite images that those people lived in badly damaged neighborhoods and needed some help. GiveDirectly is testing this new way of targeting emergency aid in collaboration with Google.org, the search and ad company's charitable arm.


Talking to whales: can AI bridge the chasm between our consciousness and other animals?

The Guardian

Tom Mustill was kayaking with his friend Charlotte in Monterey Bay, California, when an animal three times the size of the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex hurtled from the water and crashed down on their tiny craft. As the flying humpback whale fell upon them and their kayak was sucked beneath the waves, Mustill assumed he would die. Miraculously he and Charlotte found themselves gasping for breath, clinging to their capsized kayak. How had they survived a smash with a creature three times the weight of a double-decker bus? What happened next was almost as weird.


Kamala Harris, traveling in North Carolina, deemed Biden 'close contact' but no schedule changes: White House

A White House official told Fox News there are no changes being made to Harris' schedule. She tested negative for COVID Thursday morning. Harris was at the 2022 international meeting of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday.


The Historical Case for a Gay Bridgerton

Slate

It's simple math, really: In a family with eight children, it stands to reason, surely one of them must be queer. Bridgerton has defied other expectations of a Regency-era love story: It is set in an alternate universe where the upper class is fully integrated and race is not an issue. The show's first two seasons focus on interracial romances, and the second season at least obliquely references the history of British colonialism in India. There's one obvious candidate for such a storyline: On the show, Eloise is the most outspoken, most feminist Bridgerton sibling. She is not interested in becoming a debutante, delaying her appearance to pursue another year of studies. She often dismisses marriage, questioning why a husband and children are all that are waiting in store for women.


American Airlines Suffers The Latest Airline IT Meltdown

International Business Times

Within the span of a month during the summer of 2016, two of the top four U.S. airlines suffered crippling IT failures. Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) and Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) were each forced to cancel thousands of flights during the peak season, leading to lost revenue and reputational damage. This article originally appeared in the Motley Fool. The summer 2018 peak season is just getting started, but there has already been a major airline IT failure. In the past week, flight cancellations have rapidly mounted at American Airlines' (NASDAQ:AAL) regional subsidiary PSA Airlines, due to problems with the carrier's crew scheduling system.
