We combine two different methods a) one using a semi-supervised learning scheme that leverages the decisions of two independent classifiers to produce a decision and b) one using textual patterns to extract claims about whether a post is fake or real and attribution statements about the content source. The experiments, carried out on the Verifying Multimedia Use dataset, used different combinations of content quality and trust-oriented features, namely tweet-based, user-based and forensics.}, year = {2016}, journal = {MediaEval 2016 Workshop}, month = {10/2016}, publisher = {CEUR Workshop Proceedings}, address = {Hilversum, Netherlands}, }
