Pages: 16 - 18 Abstract: The articles in this special section focus on efforts to combat misinformation in the news and media. With misinformation spreading more rapidly and more broadly than reliable information, the serious impact of the resulting “infodemic” is evident globally, in areas ranging from health to politics and even invasion and war. Although the originators of misinformation may be malicious entities exploiting social media, “fake news,” and conspiracy-theory generators, it is ourselves, consumers of such information, and our own network of people that propagate misinformation and fake content simply by sharing them often without assessing their validity. So, we can be—and should be—part of the solution to this growing problem. We should develop and adopt information hygiene practices that contribute to misinformation detection or at the least curb our contribution to its spreading. To develop such practices effectively, the research community is recommending several new and innovative technical solutions and methodologies that can help us make a more informed assessment of the trustworthiness of information we come across online, whether in posts on social media, online articles, or multimedia.

Pages: 19 - 24 Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, spreading fake news and misinformation in society can cause more problems than usual. It may lead people to make wrong decisions, causing further spreading of the disease to others. This may result in outbreaks and shut down of the economy. However, experts have already pointed out that political misinformation and health misinformation are entangled as some people would challenge those canon ideas on health information fueled by political agendas. Therefore, we review recent research on misinformation and fake news related to health and political areas to help understand this misinformation “infodemic.” PubDate:

Pages: 25 - 31 Abstract: In recent years, false information has acquired a new significance, with the (in)famous term “fake news” entering the collective consciousness. False but controversial or sensational news tends to spread incomparably faster than genuine information. The world has already witnessed how Internet news can help raise the public’s doubt in the actions taken by governments, construct an alternative narrative of events, or even reportedly poison democratic elections, spark off riots afterward, and pose a grave threat to democracy. A number of initiatives have been developed and introduced aimed at tackling the problem. This work presents a tool designed to successfully detect fake news, the SocialTruth platform, which has already shown great promise. This article is structured as follows: first, the project is briefly presented, along with its principles and ambitions. Then, the architecture and underlying mechanisms are discussed, followed by evaluation results and conclusions. PubDate:

Pages: 32 - 37 Abstract: Fake news on various medicines, foods, and vaccinations relating to the COVID-19 pandemic has increased dramatically. These fake news reports lead individuals to believe in false and sometimes harmful claims and stories, and they also influence people’s vaccination opinions. Immediately detecting COVID-19 false news can help to reduce the spread of fear, confusion, and potential health risks among citizens. An ensemble-based deep learning model for detecting COVID-19-related fake news on Twitter is proposed in this article. CT-BERT, BERTweet, and roberta are three different models that are fine-tuned on COVID-19-linked text data to separate fake and authentic news. In addition, the proposed ensemble-based model is compared to a variety of standard machine learning and deep learning models. In the detection of COVID-19 fake news from Twitter, the proposed ensemble-based deep learning model achieved state-of-the-art performance with a weighted $F_1$F1-score of 0.99. PubDate:

Pages: 38 - 44 Abstract: Rapid advancements in the field of computer vision and AI have enabled the creation of synthesized images and videos known as deepfakes. Deepfakes are used as a source of spreading false news and misinformation. The constant evolution of generative models, used for creating deepfakes, makes it difficult and yet very important to find effective generalized solutions for such deepfake videos. We have designed a generalized deepfake detector by creating a two-stream network that uses CNN-LSTM as its backbone. Our contributions in this article are twofold: 1) using a time-distributed network to create representations using spatial and temporal information of a video, and 2) improving the discriminative ability of the extracted feature embeddings by using metric learning during training. Results gathered through extensive experiments show the effectiveness of our solution even on a cross-modal FaceForensic++ dataset proving the generalization ability of the solution. PubDate:

Pages: 45 - 51 Abstract: Hybrid MPI–OpenMP applications employ message-passing interface (MPI)-enabled process-level, distributed computations on many compute nodes in conjunction with OpenMP shared-memory, thread-level parallelism for the most efficient computation. This poses challenges on the dynamic MPI correctness tool MUST and TypeART, its memory allocation tracking sanitizer extension based on the LLVM compiler framework. In particular, at the thread-level granularity of a process, MPI calls and memory allocations, which are both tracked for our analysis, can occur concurrently. To correctly handle this situation, we: 1) extended our compiler extension to handle OpenMP and 2) introduced thread-safety mechanisms to our runtime libraries, thus keeping the tracking of data consistent and avoiding data races. Our approach exhibits acceptable runtime and memory overheads, both typically below 30%. PubDate:

Pages: 52 - 61 Abstract: During the recent pandemic events and lockdown, most educational institutions have moved into online and distance learning. Certain institutions have been more ready than others to shift into full online learning and teaching mode. However, many technical and security challenges and issues related to the learning management system have been encountered. In this article, we investigate the technical benefits of blockchain, and we propose a secured and trusted online-leaning framework based on blockchain. Our proposal takes advantage of blockchain technology to ensure the expected standard of teaching and fairness of assessment while respecting the schedule of courses and exams. Through blockchain’s reward methods, it also motivates both students and teachers to persist in their efforts, even from home. PubDate:

Pages: 62 - 68 Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown enormous potential for transforming healthcare delivery and accessibility in low- and middle-income countries such as those in Latin America, which are among the least equitable regions of the world. While healthcare analytics is already a global trend, in Latin America, it is gaining relevance given its demographic and socio-economic specificity and its particular healthcare systems. Hence, we first explore the linkage between the concepts of AI and digital health. Second, we analyze various types of AI technology in the healthcare sector, and finally, we discuss AI health-related services in Latin American countries and classify them according to applications and digital health interventions. We highlight pertinent issues of privacy and transparency in the use of patient data and records, as well as the technological and regulatory difficulties Latin American countries encounter in implementing AI-based services in the healthcare sector, a provision that also contributes to advancing United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Pages: 69 - 73 Abstract: During the past few years, the interpretation of the term “agile” has become so overburdened that it sometimes offers a wrong view of what agility is. This disharmony is called Fake Agile because there is not a complete alignment with the principles and values of agile. In this article, we deal with the causes and early symptoms that make a difference between true agile and Fake Agile. We identify some reasons for its emergence, we present some implications of practicing Fake Agile, and we discuss how to mitigate it. PubDate:

Pages: 74 - 77 Abstract: Members of the C-suite – just like everyone else – are motivated by biases, fear, hope, ignorance, confusion, denial, and stubbornness, among other emotions that can exert more influence than due diligence data when their companies write huge checks to their favorite vendors, promote the most loyal members of their teams, or develop strategies based solely on their judgment and instinct – even when there's tons of empirical evidence suggesting the investments make no sense. Evidence-based best practices should be leveraged to reduce the number, nature, and depth of feelings about technology, but that requires C-suite willingness to weigh data over feelings, which can be a real challenge to executives who, let's face it, like to do what they want to do whenever they want to do it.

Pages: 78 - 82 Abstract: IT WAS the 1960s into the early 1970s. The Cambridge-trained professor, enamored of his puns and often insensitive to criticism, rambled on in his own somewhat disjointed way. To some, he imparted wise parables, whereas many of his academic peers considered him a bit of an eccentric crackpot. Nonetheless, his insight, obtuse as it was at the time, seems to have an enduring, if not a still highly debatable quality.1 In fact, Dr. Marshall McLuhan predicted the notion of the Internet in 1964, almost two decades before it became a newborn reality.2 PubDate:
