Core Innovation

This paper introduces DYNAMO, which integrates a continuously updated news-specific knowledge graph with large language models to verify news authenticity dynamically. It uniquely uses Monte Carlo Tree Search to break down and verify complex news stepwise, ensuring both the correctness of new knowledge and deep semantic understanding. This approach overcomes limitations of noisy retrieval and static knowledge in prior fake news detection methods.

Market Size (TAM)

$2–10B TAM, $1–2B SAM; assumption: growing demand for misinformation detection tools across media and social platforms globally.
