This paper considers the use of a post metadata-based approach to identifying intentionally deceptive online content. It presents the use of an inherently explainable artificial intelligence technique, which utilizes machine learning to train an expert system, for this purpose. It considers the role of three factors (textual context, speaker background, and emotion) in fake news detection analysis and evaluates the efficacy of using key factors, but not the inherently subjective processing of post text itself, to identify deceptive online content. This paper presents initial work on a potential deceptive content detection tool and also, through the networks that it presents for this purpose, considers the interrelationships of factors that can be used to determine whether a post is deceptive content or not and their comparative importance.

In the domain of online reinforcement learning, strategies that leverage inherent rewards for exploration tend to achieve commendable outcomes within contexts characterized by deceptive or sparse rewards. Counting through the visitation of states is an efficient count-based exploration method to get the proper intrinsic reward. However, only the novelty of the states encountered by the agent is considered in this exploration method, resulting in the over-exploration of a certain state-action pair and falling into a locally optimal solution.

Prior studies indicate that emotions, particularly high-arousal emotions, may elicit rapid intuitive thinking, thereby decreasing the ability to recognize misinformation. Yet, few studies have distinguished prior affective states from emotional reactions to false news, which could influence belief in falsehoods in different ways. Extending a study by Martel et al.
