Clickbait, which aims to induce users with some surprising and even thrilling headlines for increasing click-through rates, permeates almost all online content publishers, such as news portals and social media. Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a powerful instrument and achieved tremendous success in a series of NLP downstream tasks. However, it is not yet known whether LLMs can be served as a high-quality clickbait detection system. In this paper, we analyze the performance of LLMs in the few-shot and zero-shot scenarios on several English and Chinese benchmark datasets. Experimental results show that LLMs cannot achieve the best results compared to the state-of-the-art deep and fine-tuning PLMs methods. Different from human intuition, the experiments demonstrated that LLMs cannot make satisfied clickbait detection just by the headlines.

Clickbaits are surprising social posts or deceptive news headlines that attempt to lure users for more clicks, which have posted at unprecedented rates for more profit or commercial revenue. The spread of clickbait has significant negative impacts on the users, which brings users misleading or even click-jacking attacks. Different from fake news, the crucial problem in clickbait detection is determining whether the headline matches the corresponding content. Most existing methods compute the semantic similarity between the headlines and contents for detecting clickbait. However, due to significant differences in length and semantic features between headlines and contents, directly calculating semantic similarity is often difficult to summarize the relationship between them. To address this problem, we propose a prompt-tuning method for clickbait detection via text summarization in this paper, text summarization is introduced to summarize the contents, and clickbait detection is performed based on the similarity between the generated summary and the contents. Specifically, we first introduce a two-stage text summarization model to produce high-quality news summaries based on pre-trained language models, and then both the headlines and new generated summaries are incorporated as the inputs for prompt-tuning. Additionally, a variety of strategies are conducted to incorporate external knowledge for improving the performance of clickbait detection. The extensive experiments on well-known clickbait detection datasets demonstrate that our method achieved state-of-the-art performance.

This paper introduces a cross-lingual statutory article retrieval (SAR) dataset designed to enhance legal information retrieval in multilingual settings. Our dataset features spoken-language-style legal inquiries in English, paired with corresponding Chinese versions and relevant statutes, covering all Taiwanese civil, criminal, and administrative laws. This dataset aims to improve access to legal information for non-native speakers, particularly for foreign nationals in Taiwan. We propose several LLM-based methods as baselines for evaluating retrieval effectiveness, focusing on mitigating translation errors and improving cross-lingual retrieval performance. Our work provides a valuable resource for developing inclusive legal information retrieval systems.

This is a paper for exploring various different models aiming at developing fake news detection models and we had used certain machine learning algorithms and we had used pretrained algorithms such as TFIDF and CV and W2V as features for processing textual data.
