Machine Learning Information Retrieval and Summarisation to Support Systematic Review on Outcomes Based Contracting
Iman Munire Bilal, Zheng Fang, Miguel Arana-Catania +6
As academic literature proliferates, traditional review methods are increasingly challenged by the sheer volume and diversity of available research. This article presents a study t…
SyROCCo: Enhancing Systematic Reviews using Machine Learning
Zheng Fang, Miguel Arana-Catania, Felix-Anselm van Lier +5
The sheer number of research outputs published every year makes systematic reviewing increasingly time- and resource-intensive. This paper explores the use of machine learning tech…
PANACEA: An Automated Misinformation Detection System on COVID-19
Runcong Zhao, Miguel Arana-Catania, Lixing Zhu +6
In this demo, we introduce a web-based misinformation detection system PANACEA on COVID-19 related claims, which has two modules, fact-checking and rumour detection. Our fact-check…
PHEMEPlus: Enriching Social Media Rumour Verification with External Evidence
John Dougrez-Lewis, Elena Kochkina, M. Arana-Catania +2
Work on social media rumour verification utilises signals from posts, their propagation and users involved. Other lines of work target identifying and fact-checking claims based on…
Supporting peace negotiations in the Yemen war through machine learning
M. Arana-Catania, F. A. Van Lier, Rob Procter
Today's conflicts are becoming increasingly complex, fluid and fragmented, often involving a host of national and international actors with multiple and often divergent interests.…
Natural Language Inference with Self-Attention for Veracity Assessment of Pandemic Claims
M. Arana-Catania, Elena Kochkina, Arkaitz Zubiaga +3
We present a comprehensive work on automated veracity assessment from dataset creation to developing novel methods based on Natural Language Inference (NLI), focusing on misinforma…
