### Transfer Learning 迁移学习

- SIGIR-2022 [Generalizing to the Future: Mitigating Entity Bias in Fake News Detection](https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.09484). [Code](https://github.com/ICTMCG/ENDEF-SIGIR2022)

  - Existing fake news detection methods overlooked the unintended entity bias in the real-world data, which seriously influences models' generalization ability to future data. They propose an entity debiasing framework (ENDEF) which generalizes fake news detection models to the future data by mitigating entity bias from a cause-effect perspective. Based on the causal graph among entities, news contents, and news veracity, they separately model the contribution of each cause (entities and contents) during training. In the inference stage, they remove the direct effect of the entities to mitigate entity bias.

  - 现有的方法忽视了训练数据集中存在的实体偏差（entity bias）造成的负面影响，导致其在未来数据上泛化效果不佳。作者提出了一种简单有效的实体去偏方法：建立实体、新闻内容与新闻真实性标签之间的因果联系，在训练阶段分别建模实体和内容对新闻真实性的影响，在测试阶段直接移除基于实体预测新闻真实性的部分以去除实体偏差。

- CIKM-2021 [MDFEND: Multi-domain Fake News Detection](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3459637.3482139). [Code](https://github.com/kennqiang/MDFEND-Weibo21)

  - They first design a benchmark of fake news dataset for MFND with domain label annotated, namely Weibo21, which consists of 4,488 fake news and 4,640 real news from 9 different domains. They further propose an effective Multi-domain Fake News Detection Model (MDFEND) by utilizing a domain gate to aggregate multiple representations extracted by a mixture of experts. 

  - 作者首先贡献一个多领域虚假新闻检测的数据集，包含领域标签，叫做Weibo21，包含4488条假新闻和4640条真新闻，共9个不同的领域。他们进一步提出一种高效的多领域虚假新闻检测模型，通过使用领域门控机制来聚合混合专家提取的多个表示。

- AAAI-2021 [Embracing Domain Differences in Fake News: Cross-domain Fake News Detection using Multi-modal Data](https://www.aaai.org/AAAI21Papers/AAAI-8716.SilvaA.pdf).

  - The performance of fake news detection methods generally drops if news records are coming from different domains, especially for domains that are unseen or rarely-seen during training. Under the setting of unknown domain label, this paper proposed a method to discover domain label and a domain-specific and domain-shared structure to detect fake news.

  - 如果新的记录来自不同领域，现有的虚假新闻检测方法效果会下降，尤其是该领域在训练时没有见过。在不知道领域标签的设定下，这篇文章提出了一个发现domain label的方法，以及一个领域特定和领域共享的结构来检测虚假新闻。

The selected sharing layer adopts gate mechanism and attention mechanism to filter and select shared feature flows between tasks.

  - 本文利用观点检测任务来辅助虚假新闻检测。他们设计了一种筛选的多任务学习方法，并使用了可选共享层来检测虚假新闻。可选共享层采用门机制和注意力机制对任务之间的共享特征流进行过滤和选择。

- WWW-2019 [A topic-agnostic approach for identifying fake news pages](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3308560.3316739?casa_token=yADZC7xsZswAAAAA:WdPv6azaEkDV3rvkfdEtzm4_KBzTZgufpRKzR6OaXpo25eVI_75nPCg5JF2aHefyaDImxNl-30KSYYA).

  - An important challenge for existing approaches comes from the dynamic nature of news: as new political events are covered, topics and discourse constantly change and thus, a classifier trained using content from articles published at a given time is likely to become ineffective in the future. To address this challenge, this paper proposed a topic-agnostic (TAG) classification strategy that uses topic-agnostic (linguistic and web-markup) features to identify fake news pages.

  - 现有虚假新闻检测的方法的一个重要挑战来自新闻的动态性质：随着报道新的政治事件，话题和话语不断变化，因此，使用给定时间发表的文章内容进行训练的分类器预测将来可能会失效。为了解决这一挑战，本文提出了一种与主题无关的（TAG）分类策略，该策略使用与主题无关的（语言和Web标记）特征来识别假新闻页面。

- WWW-2018 [Detect Rumor and Stance Jointly by Neural Multi-task Learning](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3184558.3188729?casa_token=y_PooBtZLeEAAAAA%3AFc0eA5ID4GRn6KfmAcAR4bohcAIpYvKvlUC36l71-ub5pUgJOyfqTWke06i3H-Ux92CbIPGYqq-Klds).

  - This paper argues that rumor detection and stance classification should be treated as a joint, collaborative effort, considering the strong connections between the veracity of claim and the stances expressed in responsive posts. They proposed a joint framework which capture both task-specific and task-invariant features.

  - 本文认为，谣言检测与立场分类之间有着的紧密联系，因此将谣言发现和立场分类联合训练。 他们提出了一个联合框架，该框架同时捕获了任务特定和任务不变的特征。
