Abstract:
The recent advances in technology and social networks have led to a phenomenon that is so called, information disorder. Our information environment is polluted by misinformation, disinformation and fake news and at a global scale. Hence, assessing the veracity of information becomes mandatory nowadays. So far, most of the efforts in the last decades have focused on analysing textual content, scraped from blogs and social media, and trying to predict the veracity of information. However, such false information also appears in multimedia content and have a peculiar life cycle throughout time that is worth leveraging. In this paper, we present a multimodal approach for detecting claims that have already been fact-checked, from videos input. Focusing on political discourse in French language, we demonstrate the feasibility of a complete system, offline and explainable.
