NSF Convergence Accelerator Track F: This project “is developing a dynamic digital dashboard to assist journalists in identifying trending misinformation on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok using advanced computational methods, such as linguistic and visual feature detection and network analysis.”

This tool is intended to “enable journalists to strategically correct misinformation through A/B-tested strategies, like observational correction, and evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in real time.”

“In Phase II, the project will collaborate with news and fact-checking organizations to test and refine the dashboard, with the goal of scaling its use to public health organizations, election officials, and commercial outlets to reduce the spread of misinformation.”
