Russo-Ukrainian war disinformation detection in suspicious Telegram channels
This work addresses the problem of disinformation detection for those involved in or affected by the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, particularly in the context of social media and online propaganda.
The paper tackled disinformation detection on Telegram channels related to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, achieving significant performance gains over traditional machine learning techniques. The proposed approach utilizing deep learning techniques and transfer learning offered enhanced contextual understanding and adaptability.
The paper proposes an advanced approach for identifying disinformation on Telegram channels related to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, utilizing state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep learning techniques and transfer learning. Traditional methods of disinformation detection, often relying on manual verification or rule-based systems, are increasingly inadequate in the face of rapidly evolving propaganda tactics and the massive volume of data generated daily. To address these challenges, the proposed system employs deep learning algorithms, including LLM models, which are fine-tuned on a custom dataset encompassing verified disinformation and legitimate content. The paper's findings indicate that this approach significantly outperforms traditional machine learning techniques, offering enhanced contextual understanding and adaptability to emerging disinformation strategies.
