The rapid proliferation of misinformation poses serious concerns, necessitating the development of efficient and accurate automated detection methods. Existing multimodal misinformation detection approaches predominantly focus on fusing information from different modalities.

摘要

The rapid proliferation of misinformation poses serious concerns, necessitating the development of efficient and accurate automated detection methods. Existing multimodal misinformation detection approaches predominantly focus on fusing information from different modalities. However, the diverse nature of multimodal posts on social media means that solely focusing on fusion can introduce noise, particularly in posts with weak inter-modal correlations. To address this challenge and effectively handle diverse misinformation instances, we propose a novel method Learning Var ying Fusion Degrees with Hierarchical Agg regation(LyRE). LyRE employs classifiers at different stages of a hierarchical fusion process, enabling the model to learn from representations with varying degrees of cross-modal interaction and adapt to different types of multimodal data. Experimental results on multiple publicly misinformation detection datasets demonstrate that LyRE outperforms other state-of-the-art and highly competitive misinformation detection methods.
