One of the negative aspects of the world becoming more digitized has been fake news, i.e., online disinformation – false, often fabricated reports of events, written and read on websites. The term has already entered collective consciousness and become an inseparable element of scientific discourse. Once a piece of news goes online, stopping it from spreading may become a complicated matter. Literature suggests that the two main pillars of the effective fight against fake news are education and detection. Thus, this paper describes a multidisciplinary study performed by a group of scientists representing two distinct fields - AI and linguistics. In their joint study, they compared, formally evaluated and explored the intersection between two approaches to fake news detection, i.e., the automated one, using a machine-learning-based tool, and the linguistic-based human judgement, using the data from two disinformation campaigns, sourced from two open benchmark fake news datasets. The study focused on the news' headlines as an effective proxy for the identification of fake news. In accordance with the achieved results, the paper argues that in the fight against fake news, the two approaches have the potential of augmenting and enhancing each other, utilizing the state-of-the-art technologies and linguistic knowledge. In addition, this paper provides a list of the linguistic features characteristic of possible disinformation, which is the most comprehensive collection of this kind in the subject literature to date.

• An AI algorithm for data enhanced encryption at the end and the intermediate nodes of autonomous IoT systems is proposed. • An AI access strategy is designed for reducing the calculation cost of data encryption. • A data shared matrix is proposed to share the encrypted data to achieve the (k, n) threshold strategy. Aiming at the security issues during the multi-types data storage and data transmission in autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) systems, this paper proposes an AI algorithm for data enhanced encryption used in the ends and the intermediate nodes of IoTs. The algorithm in this paper first constructs a three-dimensional Arnold transformation matrix for data unit value encryption in the end of IoTs, and designs a quantum logic intelligent mapping that effectively diffuses the encrypted data units to reduce the linear correlation of the image data and to improve the security performance of IoT edge data. Furthermore, the algorithm designs an AI access strategy for scrambling sequence nodes and builds a random-access route for the elements of the scrambling sequence which can reduce the calculation cost and improve the operating efficiency of IoT system in the ends and intermediate nodes. Finally, the data shared matrix is used to share the encrypted data to achieve the (k, n) threshold strategy. Experimental results prove that the algorithm has high plaintext and key sensitivity and can effectively resist brute force attacks, statistical analysis and differential attacks. The algorithm in this paper provides an AI solution for data security encryption in the ends and the intermediate nodes of autonomous IoT systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A multiplier-less architecture based on algebraic integer representation for computing the Daubechies 6-tap wavelet transform for 1-D/2-D signal processing is proposed. This architecture improves on previous designs in a sense that it minimizes the number of parallel 2-input adder circuits. The algorithm was achieved using brute-force numerical optimization of the algebraic integer representation. The proposed architecture furnishes exact computation up to the final reconstruction step, which is the operation that maps the exactly computed filtered results from algebraic integer representation to fixed-point. Compared to our recent work, this architecture shows a reduction of 27·n-16 adder circuits, where n is the number of wavelet decomposition levels. The design is physically implemented for a 4-level 1-D/2-D decomposition using a Xilinx Virtex-6 vcx240t-1ff1156 field programmable gate array (FPGA) device operating at up to a maximum clock frequency of 344/ 168 MHz. The FPGA implementation of 1-D/2-D are tested using hardware co-simulation using an ML605 board with clock of 100 MHz. A 45 nm CMOS synthesis of 2-D designs show improved clock frequency of better than 306 MHz for a supply voltage of 1.1 V. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
