SUMMARY:AI Academy I AI-Based Fact-Checking
DESCRIPTION:#Talk\nIn an era of rampant mis- and disinformation\, reliable fact-checking has become essential to protect public discourse and democratic institutions. Following a reflection on contemporary forms of fake news\, this talk explores the current state of AI-based multimodal fact-checking\, highlighting recent advances and persistent challenges. Get to know DEFAME\, our state-of-the-art fact-checking system that builds on our challenge-winning text-only predecessor\, InFact\, and now leads the field in multimodal claim verification. To conclude\, let us discuss open problems such as ambiguity\, media authenticity\, and trust in AI-generated verdicts. \n#Speaker \nMark Rothermel is a PhD student at the Multimodal AI Lab\, led by Prof. Dr. Anna Rohrbach and Prof. Dr. Marcus Rohrbach at TU Darmstadt. His research focuses on multimodal fact-checking. Together with Tobias Braun\, he developed the fact-checking system InFact\, which was awarded at the 2024 Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) conference in Miami\, USA.
