Social media has the ability expose users to a myriad of misinformation, including fake news — news stories with intentionally false information. Numerous deep learning methods currently exist to detect fake news, but these methods are unable to explain why it is recognized as such. Now, a team of researchers from Penn State University and Arizona State University, including Fulton Schools computer science doctoral student Kai Shu and Professor Huan Liu, is working to help explain why any piece of fake news is detected as being false.
