Core Innovation

This paper introduces a novel self-supervised framework that leverages Abstract Meaning Representation to capture semantic relations and social context through multi-view graph masked autoencoders. It uniquely applies an LLM-based graph contrastive loss to enhance feature separability without requiring labeled data. This approach enables effective fake news detection with limited supervision and improved generalizability compared to prior supervised methods.
