📢 Happy to share that our work "Improving Performance of Automatic Keyword Extraction Methods Using PoS Tagging and Enhanced Semantic-Awareness" is now published in the special issue Information Extraction and Language Discourse Processing of MDPI's Information journal.

🎉 Starting a new chapter at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa! Delighted to join the Department of Computer Engineering as an academic. Looking forward to contributing to research and teaching in this vibrant academic community.

🎙 Akademik çalışmalarım artık sade bir dille podcast formatında! Sade-ce Bilim, yapay zeka ile oluşturulan iki kişilik sohbetlerle dahil olduğum araştırmaları daha anlaşılır bir biçimde sunuyor. 🎧İlk bölüm Spotify'da yayında: bit.ly/4mvKM4o #Bilimİletişimi #Podcast #SadeceBilim #BilimHerkesİçin

🎙 Turning Research Into Conversation Research Talks is a new podcast where I share my academic work in a clear, AI-generated dialogue format. Now streaming on Spotify! 🎧 First episode: bit.ly/4mrnmgp #ScienceCommunication #AcademicResearch #AIforScience #ResearchTalks #Podcast #NotebookLM

Sounds good!

🚨 The preprint and dataset are now available! 🔎 Here's what FACTors offers — a quick thread on the dataset and example applications 🧵⤵️

Another example of how a "Large Language Model" can be used as a "Large Lying Machine" ⤵️

This new decentralised verification approach on Bluesky sounds a good idea although its success depends on how Trusted Verifiers will be selected. I think it could be enhanced to enable organisational accounts to verify their employee's accounts with a separate badge/label showing the affiliation.

Excited to share that our work "FACTors: A New Dataset for Studying the Fact-checking Ecosystem" has been accepted for #SIGIR2025 as a Resource & Reproducibility paper. More details coming soon! #academicresearch #factchecking #dataset sigir2025.dei.unipd.it

X'teki dezenformasyondan bıkıp kendini burada bulan yeni Bluesky göçmenleri için tekrar paylaşma gereği hissettim🙂

With new additions, including @johnfocook.bsky.social, @emmalbriant.bsky.social, @sanjanah.bsky.social, @misinforeview.bsky.social, and @zakird.com, the starter pack is now full! If you haven't checked it recently, a final look might be useful to discover more accounts 🙂

A worth reading threat to understand why misinformation research is needed ⤵️

Selecting a few of the recommendations from our National Academies report on science misinformation to highlight. Recommendation 2 is simply that universities & researchers need better procedures for publicizing research. There should be accountability for overhyping science.

Check out listifications.app (aka @listifications.app). If you follow that account it automatically sends you a DM every time someone adds you to a list or Starter Pack. Fun to see randos blocking you as "fash" or "scum" while others add you to lists of "journalists" or "fact checkers" :-)

If you're following @politifact.bsky.social, it's not the real account of Politifact ⤵️

I like the idea of using "information integrity" as an umbrella term. One reason is that it emphasises that information disorder is a cyber security issue since integrity is a key principle of cyber security.

Misinformation? Disinformation? What's the difference? A very simple and festive explainer. 🎅 Credit: 🎨 @felixuncia.bsky.social 🧠 @brentlee.bsky.social

THREAD: How to check if the screenshot of a social media post is real or fake? Fake screnshots of online posts regularly mislead people. So, here's a simple guide on how you can quickly check if a screenshot of a post attributed to an account is genuine or fake before falling for or sharing it.

We are seeing more deepfakes than ever before, and the situation will only worsen over time, even if we are flying in #BlueSky 😄 So, let's get "deeper" into deepfakes 🧵 #deepfake #cheapfake #misinformation

AI-generated voice can be used to deceive people and convince them to believe misinformation. This is not bad when used to deceive the deceivers 😅 news.virginmediao2.co.uk/o2-unveils-d...

The starter pack is updated with many new members, including: @americansunlight.org @factchecknet.bsky.social @alkapdc.bsky.social @computermacgyver.bsky.social @gravesmatter.bsky.social @cip.uw.edu @poynterinstitute.bsky.social

#Misinformation is a global issue, yet its dynamics vary by country. So, we need more local groups to better grasp the country-specific dynamics. With this in mind, here's a localised starter pack with #Turkish actors. Hope we can have more such packs for different countries. go.bsky.app/8m37FHz

The COVID-19 #pandemic ended, but the #infodemic never ends! I believe how we can protect ourselves from the infodemic is similar to what we've done during the pandemic: 1️⃣ Hygiene🧴 2️⃣ Mask 😷 3️⃣ Social Distance 🚫 Here's a thread on how🧵

Since I started this, its size has almost doubled with many new members and has reached up to 100 accounts! If you haven't check it out recently, you may want to do so not to miss anything 🙂 #Misinformation #AcademicSky #PhDSky #SciComm #TrustResearch

While my starter pack is growing with new members, it is (and will be) certainly incomplete. So, I suggest checking out other similar starter packs by searching on blueskydirectory.com (Thanks @mubashariqbal.com for this amazing service). As an example, those including "Misinformation" are below 👇
