Against Political Polarization: A Unified Framework for Tracing Evolving Political Ideologies on Social Media

The paper introduces TSN4PI, a unified framework for tracking the evolution of political ideologies on social media. It combines a PIDN module that uses large language models, style transfer, and unsupervised domain adaptation to detect ideologies and filter noise, with a PIPN module that employs temporal graph neural networks to predict future ideological shifts. The authors release two large-scale datasets and validate the approach on platforms such as X and Truth Social, offering empirical insights into political polarization and ideology evolution.

A Resource for Enthymeme Detection in Controversial Political Discourse

Enthymemes, arguments with unstated premises or conclusions, are pervasive in persuasive discourse, yet their annotation remains notoriously subjective. We present a resource of 1,482 tweets from politically controversial discourse, annotated by five annotators for the presence of enthymemes and their argument structure, designed to study label variation.

Agentic Detection of Online Conspiracies

The paper presents an agentic framework for detecting conspiratorial content in social media by inferring the speaker’s intent rather than merely identifying explicit claims. It leverages social context and adaptive tool use, demonstrating superior performance over text-only and non-agentic models on a large Hebrew tweet dataset spanning election cycles and the COVID pandemic. The study highlights the importance of context-aware, reasoning-driven approaches for accurate conspiracy detection.

GPTBIAS: A Comprehensive Framework for Evaluating Bias in Large Language Models

The paper introduces GPTBIAS, a framework that uses powerful large language models like GPT‑4 to evaluate bias in other LLMs. It employs specially crafted prompts called Bias Attack Instructions to probe for bias and outputs a bias score along with detailed information such as bias types, affected demographics, keywords, reasons, and improvement suggestions. Extensive experiments demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness and usability.

Towards Safer Social Media Platforms: Scalable and Performant Few-Shot Harmful Content Moderation Using Large Language Models

The paper presents a scalable approach to harmful content moderation on social media by leveraging large language models (LLMs) for few-shot, in-context learning. Experiments across multiple LLMs show that this method outperforms proprietary baselines such as Perspective and OpenAI Moderation, as well as prior few-shot learning techniques, in detecting harmful content. The study also explores the addition of visual cues like video thumbnails to assess multimodal improvements, highlighting the advantages of LLM-based moderation for dynamic and large-scale content filtering.

Can Multimodal Large Language Models Generate and Detect Multimodal Social Media Fake News?

The paper investigates whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can generate and detect realistic multimodal fake news on social media. Using a multi‑agent framework—comprising a story agent, an image agent, and a critic agent—the authors produced over 9,000 paired multimodal news posts across science, health, and entertainment domains. They benchmarked 16 open‑ and closed‑source MLLMs for automated detection and found that most models fall far short of human accuracy, especially in identifying image authenticity, highlighting the need for stronger defenses against social media fake news.

Measuring a hate speech spectrum with faceted Rasch item response theory and perspective-aware, explainable-by-design deep learning

arXiv:2009. 10277v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a system for measuring hate speech on a continuous, interval-valued spectrum ranging from genocidal to supportive speech by combining supervised deep learning with faceted Rasch item response theory (IRT).
