Abstract
Automated detection of false information is crucial for combating “fake news” on online social media networks (OSMN), reducing the need for manual discernment. Existing solutions often use content or context features of OSMN documents in isolation, ignoring temporal and dynamic changes, which limits model robustness. Furthermore, the quality and impact of OSMN documents’ features on prediction trustworthiness are rarely considered. This paper introduces MAPX, a model-agnostic framework for evidence-based aggregation of predictions from existing models in an explainable, adaptive, and dynamic manner; assessing the quality of OSMN document features. Extensive experiments on benchmarked fake news datasets in real-world data quality scenarios show MAPX’s effectiveness, consistently outperforming state-of-the-art models. For reproducibility, a demo of MAPX is available at this link.

| Other | The International Web Information Systems Engineering conference (also known as the WISE conference) has established itself, and consolidated its position over the years, as among the top conferences in the research areas around the Web. It provides an international forum for scholars, researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners to share their scientific innovations, knowledge and insights in the rapidly growing area of Web technologies, methodologies, and applications to create today the future Web. The WISE 2024 edition marks the 25th anniversary of the conference and promises to be a very special one. First, it will be held at Qatar University (in Doha, Qatar) , one of the top universities in the Middle East region, in the begining of December 2024 where the weather is very pleasant (Temperatures 25° / 16°). Second, will offer a high quality and rich scientific program made of research sessions on important and special topics, scientific demonstrations, a PhD symposium for the junior scholars, workshops, as well as thought provoking keynote speakers, panels, special tracks, and an industrial exhibition on the Web. |
