Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of network security, and in particular to a multi-modal field adaptive false information detection method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the information explosion era of the Internet, false information is rampant, seriously damaging the health of the information ecosystem, affecting the public's trust in information, and even possibly causing negative impacts on social stability and economic development. Traditional manual review methods are difficult to cope with the massive news data, so there is an urgent need for automated false information detection technology. With the development of multimedia technology, news forms have changed from simple text to multimedia content containing pictures, videos, etc. Multi-modal news is more attractive to readers and more likely to spread false information. Multi-modal detection methods that integrate visual content and text information have become the main trend in false information detection.

[0003] False information detection faces many challenges, mainly in the following three aspects. First, single modal information cannot support accurate judgment, and the detection effect is limited. Current false news detection methods mainly rely on single modal data input, such as using only news text as the analysis object. However, with the continuous evolution of false information dissemination means, many false information enhances its misleadingness and dissemination power through various forms such as text and image combination, audio and video assistance. Relying solely on text content for judgment often leads to one-sided information and makes it difficult to fully capture the traces of forgery, thereby limiting the recognition accuracy and robustness of the detection system. Second, multi-modal data is highly heterogeneous, and the fusion and feature extraction mechanism is imperfect. Multi-modal false news usually contains text, images, comments and other types of information, which have significant differences in structure, semantic expression and representation. Existing technologies generally use independent modal modeling followed by simple concatenation or weighted fusion, lacking effective modeling of cross-modal semantic association. In addition, some methods fail to fully extract deep semantic information from text or key text content from images during feature extraction, resulting in incomplete feature expression and affecting the final discrimination effect. Third, the model's generalization ability is insufficient, making it difficult to adapt to complex and changing real-world application scenarios. Most current false information detection models are trained for specific domains or platforms, while in real-world applications, false information covers multiple topics, language styles and dissemination channels, showing high diversity and dynamic change characteristics. Traditional models often show poor adaptability and generalization performance when faced with new types of false information across domains, platforms or languages, making it difficult to meet the stability and scalability requirements of detection systems in real-world environments.

[0004] To address the first challenge, existing research has attempted to introduce multimodal misinformation detection methods, improving recognition capabilities from the perspectives of image-text matching and cross-modal fusion. However, these methods still have limitations when dealing with misinformation in complex scenarios. Some methods attempt to use large models to simulate user behavior and generate comment information to assist the detection process, but overall, they lack a deep understanding of multimodal news semantics. Regarding the second challenge, existing research largely focuses on image-text consistency analysis, emphasizing the interaction between text and images, but neglecting the important role of comment information in misinformation identification. Comment information contains a wealth of user-perspective feedback; however, current methods are still insufficient in integrating comments with other modal information, failing to achieve deep multimodal collaborative learning. Regarding the third challenge, although existing research has explored the possibility of multi-domain misinformation detection, practical applications still face problems such as incomplete domain labels and modal dependency differences, and effective solutions have not yet been developed. Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct a more universal and adaptable detection framework to cope with the increasingly complex environment of misinformation dissemination.

[0005] In summary, existing misinformation detection technologies still have many shortcomings when dealing with complex, multi-domain, and multimodal scenarios, especially in cross-modal semantic understanding, comment information fusion, and model generalization capabilities, where they still face significant challenges.

Supervision is provided through binary cross-entropy loss, and the mean and variance of the single-view prediction scores are obtained. Adaptive instance normalization further adjusts the feature weights within each perspective. Domain-aware feature aggregation: First, features from different perspectives are projected onto a unified dimension through a linear layer, then concatenated together. Cross-attention calculation is performed with domain embeddings to obtain the feature weights for each perspective. Finally, a weighted concatenation is performed to obtain the final aggregated features.
