🧪 Happy to contribute to the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Cyberpsychology with an entry, co-authored with @jasonnurse.bsky.social and @hooklee.bsky.social. We briefly overviewed #misinformation research, covering its history, psychological aspects, detection and mitigation, regulation, and open issues.

It presents a universal post-processing approach to boost AKE methods. Our experiments on 17 benchmark datasets showed significant improvements across 5 AKE methods. Thanks all the co-authors (@jasonnurse.bsky.social,Yang Xu,Jie Guo, @hooklee.bsky.social) for their effort and collaboration.
