Combating Disinformation with Holistic Architecture, Neuro-symbolic AI and NLU Models

It is important to realize that false news is more than just a deception. Sadly, it is impossible to confirm every bit of information we come across. A normal human impulse is to accept any information that looks sufficiently convincing, relevant, or exciting. In doing so, we often do not realize that we have just contributed to the misinformation of the community to which we belong. As a result, fake news happens to be our collective error. In this paper, we propose an architecture for combating the disinformation problem using a hybrid-based approach. We demonstrate our preliminary results on the health-related fake news dataset.
