Proceedings of the Second Workshop on Building Educational Applications Using NLP
Abstract
In the era of digital communication, the rapid spread of information presents significant challenges to society. This paper provides an in-depth examination of the existing frameworks developed to understand and address these phenomena. More precisely, this paper categorizes and compares various frameworks, including typology-based, process-oriented, impact-oriented, and actor-centric approaches. It highlights the strengths and limitations of each framework type, with a particular focus on their applicability to combat false information in diverse contexts. The paper underscores the importance of adopting a holistic and flexible approach that integrates multiple frameworks and adapts to the evolving nature of technology, particularly AI-driven false and misleading content.
