本文利用知网(HowNet)中的知识,并将Word2vec模型的结构和思想迁移至义原表示学习过程中,提出了一个基于义原表示学习的词向量表示方法。首先,本文利用OpenHowNet获取义原知识库中的所有义原、所有中文词汇以及所有中文词汇和其对应的义原集合,作为实验的数据集。然后,基于Skip-gram模型,训练义原表示学习模型,进而获得词向量。最后,通过词相似度任务、词义消歧任务、词汇类比和观察最近邻义原,来评价本文提出的方法获取的词向量的效果。通过和基线模型比较,发现本文提出的方法既高效又准确,不依赖大规模语料也不需要复杂的网络结构和繁多的参数,也能提升各种自然语言处理任务的准确率。

Corpus Development for Studying Online Disinformation Campaign: A Narrative + Stance Approach

Proceedings for the First International Workshop on Social Threats in Online Conversations: Understanding and Management

Disinformation on social media is impacting our personal life and society. The outbreak of the new coronavirus is the most recent example for which a wealth of disinformation provoked fear, hate, and even social panic. While there are emerging interests in studying how disinformation campaigns form, spread, and influence target audiences, developing disinformation campaign corpora is challenging given the high volume, fast evolution, and wide variation of messages associated with each campaign. Disinformation cannot always be captured by simple factchecking, which makes it even more challenging to validate and create ground truth. This paper presents our approach to develop a corpus for studying disinformation campaigns targeting the White Helmets of Syria. We bypass directly classifying a piece of information as disinformation or not. Instead, we label the narrative and stance of tweets and YouTube comments about White Helmets. Narratives is defined as a recurring statement that is used to express a point of view. Stance is a high-level point of view on a topic. We demonstrate that narrative and stance together can provide a dynamic method for real world users, e.g., intelligence analysts, to quickly identify and counter disinformation campaigns based on their knowledge at the time.
