Multi-Modal Misinformation Detection: An Exhaustive Review

Social media and the web have become the source of misinformation dissemination today. The users generate a variety of misinformation in different categories and forms. The researchers have taken an interest in detecting and classifying false information, mainly in textual data, while multi-modal misinformation detection has started gaining attraction recently. Although some survey papers discuss false information detection techniques, the authors didn't find a survey paper focusing only on multi-modal misinformation detection. Therefore, in this study, authors have reviewed the literature related to multi-modal misinformation detection from 2010 to 2023 to identify the techniques utilized by the researchers, understand the available datasets, and identify the research gaps in this area. This will assist the researchers in understanding the methods used to detect multi-modal misinformation, work on gaps identified and contribute mainly to this area.
