Scientific seminar by Ewelina Księżniak on content authorship verification in the context of fake news dissemination

During the seminar, Ewelina Księżniak from the Department of Information Systems discussed topics related to stylometric methods for lie detection, encoding stylometric features using Transformer models, author profiling, and individuals’ susceptibility to fake news.

During the presentation, the results of previous research conducted by Ewelina Księżniak were discussed, including findings from the study “Team OpenFact at PAN 2024: Fine-tuning BERT models with stylometric enhancements” (authors: Ewelina Księżniak, Prof. Krzysztof Węcel, Marcin Sawiński). Furthermore, it was demonstrated how her prior research has led to the development of a preliminary concept for her doctoral dissertation.

The planned doctoral dissertation will focus on detecting so-called “greenwashing” in ESG reports, taking into account the influence of the author’s “stereotype” on the assessment of information credibility. After the presentation, a discussion took place during which participants had the opportunity to exchange views on the topics raised during the talk.

The seminar was held on February 14, 2025. The discussion was moderated by Prof. Krzysztof Węcel.
