Combating Multimodal Misinformation in Online Networks
Professor Cuihua (Cindy) Shen
ABSTRACT
The proliferation of misinformation in today’s media environment threatens national security, social cohesion, and public health. Yet, most research to date has been focused on textual misinformation, while ignoring the multimodal nature of information production and consumption in online networks, especially in the form of digital images, memes, and videos. In this talk, I will outline the unique characteristics of multimodal misinformation as well as corrections, and propose potential solutions to address these challenges.
