Telling Fact from Fiction
Unpredictable characters, political intrigues and complex social relations are key ingredients behind the success of HBO’s TV fantasy series Game of Thrones. The result is an active exchange across social media platforms. With Westeros Sentinel, webLyzard now provides a visual dashboard to explore the heated discussions and spirited debates among the fans of the series.
Fiction of a different kind is the realm of our
PHEME project, which organized a
workshop on automated methods to detect rumors and deception in social media. The workshop was part of the
24th International World Wide Web Conference, the foremost annual gathering of Web pioneers and Internet evangelists.
