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.

Automated Detection and Structuring of Social Tipping Point Evidence in Climate related Documents: A Modular AI Framework

The paper introduces an open, modular AI framework that automatically detects and structures evidence of social tipping points in climate literature at the passage level. It integrates a DistilBERT boundary splitter, an iteratively augmented RoBERTa classifier, a Mistral 7B rewrite model, a LLaMA 3.2 3B rating model, and a Milvus vector store, all accessible via a Streamlit interface. Evaluation on a GPT‑4.1‑labelled benchmark and expert‑reviewed set shows the splitter outperforms competitors and the RoBERTa detector achieves high accuracy and agreement.
