Study shows impersonators generate fake engagement on Instagram.

problem Impersonators exploit Instagram for fake engagement.
method Examined three communities (Politician, News agency, Sports star) on Instagram, collected data on 4.8K comments and 2.6K likes from 3.8K impersonators over 7 months.
result Impersonators generate significant fake engagement on verified accounts.

Fake engagement is one of the significant problems in Online Social Networks (OSNs) which is used to increase the popularity of an account in an inorganic manner. The detection of fake engagement is crucial because it leads to loss of money for businesses, wrong audience targeting in advertising, wrong product predicti…

Framework detects fake news using weak social signals from multiple sources.

problem Lack of annotated data for early fake news detection.
method Jointly uses weak social signals and clean data to train deep neural networks in a meta-learning framework.
result Framework outperforms state-of-the-art baselines for early fake news detection.

Data poisoning attacks can manipulate recommender systems to recommend target items.

problem Attacks on recommender systems to influence top-N item recommendations.
method Formulated as an optimization problem, solved using influence function to select influential users.
result Effective data poisoning attacks that outperform existing methods.

MALCOM generates fake comments to fool fake news detectors.

problem Adversaries can manipulate fake news detection models with malicious comments.
method Proposes a novel threat model and develops an adversarial comment generation framework (MALCOM).
result MALCOM can fool fake news detectors 90-94% of the time, depending on the model and dataset.

Improves estimation under model misspecification with fake features.

problem Model misspecification with fake features.
method Proposes a framework to decompose output error into underlying, fake, and missing features.
result Fake features can significantly improve estimation performance, even when not correlated with underlying features.

A fake quadric is a smooth projective surface that has the same rational cohomology as a smooth quadric surface but is not biholomorphic to one. We provide an explicit classification of all irreducible fake quadrics according to the commensurability class of their fundamental group. To accomplish this task, we develop …

RealStats detects fake images rigorously, combining multiple detectors for robustness.

problem Detecting AI-generated images remains challenging due to evolving generative models.
method Combines training-free statistics to compute p-values and aggregate them for a unified real-image distribution.
result Framework produces interpretable probability scores for robust fake image detection.

We study quotients Γ\HnΓ\backslash \mathbb H^n of the nn-fold product of the upper half plane H\mathbb H by irreducible and torsion-free lattices Γ<PSL2(R)nΓ< PSL_2(\mathbb R)^n with the same Betti numbers as the nn-fold product (P1)n(\mathbb P^1)^n of projective lines. Such varieties are called fake products of projective lines…

In this paper we show strategies to easily identify fake samples generated with the Generative Adversarial Network framework. One strategy is based on the statistical analysis and comparison of raw pixel values and features extracted from them. The other strategy learns formal specifications from the real data and show…

Social media are nowadays one of the main news sources for millions of people around the globe due to their low cost, easy access and rapid dissemination. This however comes at the cost of dubious trustworthiness and significant risk of exposure to 'fake news', intentionally written to mislead the readers. Automaticall…

While the purpose of most fake news is misinformation and political propaganda, our team sees it as a new type of myth that is created by people in the age of internet identities and artificial intelligence. Seeking insights on the fear and desire hidden underneath these modified or generated stories, we use machine le…

We give a criterion for a projective surface to become a quotient of a fake projective plane. We also give a detailed information on the elliptic fibration of a (2,3)(2,3)-elliptic surface that is the minimal resolution of a quotient of a fake projective plane. As a consequence, we give a classification of Q{\mathbb Q}-h…

A fake wedge is a diagram of spaces K <- A -> C whose double mapping cylinder is contractible. The terminology stems from the special case A = K v C with maps given by the projections. In this paper, we study the homotopy type of the moduli space D(K,C) of fake wedges on K and C. We formulate two conjectures concerning…

Can machine learning models for recommendation be easily fooled? While the question has been answered for hand-engineered fake user profiles, it has not been explored for machine learned adversarial attacks. This paper attempts to close this gap. We propose a framework for generating fake user profiles which, when inco…

This article presents a preliminary approach towards characterizing political fake news on Twitter through the analysis of their meta-data. In particular, we focus on more than 1.5M tweets collected on the day of the election of Donald Trump as 45th president of the United States of America. We use the meta-data embedd…

Paper proposes a method to aggregate customer engagement data for better ranking of e-commerce results.

problem Cold start problem and under-representation of new or under-impressed products in e-commerce search results.
method Aggregates customer engagements within a day for the same query as input training data for machine learning models.
result Training models on aggregated data leads to better ranking of new and under-impressed products.

FATE predicts user engagement on social apps with explainable explanations.

problem Accurate user engagement prediction for social apps with explainability.
method FATE, a flexible neural framework incorporating friendships, actions, and temporal dynamics.
result FATE outperforms state-of-the-art approaches by 10% error and 20% runtime reduction.
