At the SEPLN conference in Jaén, Spain, the last result from the HOMADOS project was presented: a fine-grained propaganda detection solution. See publications for more information about the research and resources for the source code.
This concludes the project, but the publications and resources remain openly available for everyone. Big thanks to all that helped to make this effort possible!
IJCNN 2022 proceedings contain a new study from the HOMADOS group, showing how verification of a short claim can be facilitated by recommending relevant reliable sources. See Publications and Resources for more information.
