Textual misinformation can be detected through various semantic, stylistic, and linguistic clues, often referred to as credibility signals. In this webinar, USFD explores three types of such signals (framing, persuasion techniques, and genre), demonstrates their publicly available tools for solving these tasks, and introduce their work on a multilingual Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tool, commonly utilized by media professionals to convert text within images into machine-encoded text for easier analysis and understanding.
