Abstract: We present a holistic approach on detecting and tracing Covid-19 related conspiracy theories in online social media, discussing both the AI tools and the data sets used for this purpose. We show how different narratives evolve over time, and investigate the forces driving individual narratives. We then discuss the topic as well as commonly believed misconceptions in the wider context of the misinformation landscape today.
The talk starts at 13:00, coffee will be served from 12:45. Please help us cut down waste by bringing your own mug.
