Misinformation Detection

This dataset, comprising 103,806 text entries, is a comprehensive resource for rumor detection on social media, constructed by merging benchmark collections including PHEME, LIAR Fake News, Twitter15, Twitter16, and ISOT Fake News. It features a binary classification schema (47% rumor, 53% non-rumor) and integrates original and adversarially augmented samples to enhance model robustness.

Climate change has been a worldwide concern for more than 50 years now and climate change misinformation has also been a critical issue as it questions the causes and effects of climate change, hence disturbing climate action. Climate misinformation has been a major obstacle to mitigating climate change and its effects, and it even aggravated the issue and polarized the public. In this paper, we introduce a new climate change misinformation and stance detection dataset namely ClimateMiSt, consisting of both social media data and news article data with manually verified labels.
