title = "DISCO: Comprehensive and Explainable Disinformation Detection",
abstract = "Disinformation refers to false information deliberately spread to influence the general public, and the negative impact of disinformation on society can be observed in numerous issues, such as political agendas and manipulating financial markets. In this paper, we identify prevalent challenges and advances related to automated disinformation detection from multiple aspects and propose a comprehensive and explainable disinformation detection framework called DISCO. It leverages the heterogeneity of disinformation and addresses the opaqueness of prediction. Then we provide a demonstration of DISCO on a real-world fake news detection task with satisfactory detection accuracy and explanation. The demo video and source code of DISCO is now publicly available https://github.com/DongqiFu/DISCO. We expect that our demo could pave the way for addressing the limitations of identification, comprehension, and explainability as a whole.",

note = "In this paper, we identify disinformation detection challenges and make an attempt for proposing DISCO and demonstrate it. We wish that the next generation of disinformation detection systems could be able to simultaneously detect and explain during the whole life cycle of disinformation dissemination.
