SharP: Soft and Hard Prompt-Guided Augmentation with LLM for Low Resource Fake News Detection

SharP is a text‑generation framework that uses both hard and soft prompts to guide large language models in creating task‑specific synthetic news samples for low‑resource fake news detection. The method combines structured factual constraints with learned semantic patterns, and employs a boundary‑aware strategy that focuses on classifier‑uncertain areas to refine decision boundaries. Dual objective optimization balances semantic alignment with source data and classifier feedback, aiming to improve robustness and generalization when labeled data are scarce.
