项目摘要

Fact-checker, Academic, and Community Collaboration Tools: Combating Hate, Abuse, and Misinformation with Minority-led Partnerships (FACT CHAMP) will build the tools and infrastructure to enable state-of-the-art research and practice to curb misinformation online. Our platform, FACT, will streamline and facilitate collaboration of fact-checkers, NGOs, researchers, and community leaders—particularly those from minority groups. FACT will allow practitioners and community leaders to share misinformation data and research challenges securely with academics. At the same time it will also allow academic solutions to be more easily used in practice. FACT CHAMP includes a convergence of social science and computer science research and a range of non-profit, startup, industry, and academic partners. We will conduct in-depth ethnographic-inspired research in close partnership with Asian American and Pacific Islander communities where racially-targeted misinformation and hate speech have surged in the wake of COVID-19. We will also conduct three proof-of-concept activities to understand how we can best enable deep and meaningful collaboration between researchers, fact-checkers, and community leaders to combat hate, abuse, and misinformation. Through these activities, we will advance research on detection of controversy and hateful content, improve our understanding of hate speech and misinformation, and, most importantly, iteratively develop new tools and adapt existing ones to create collaboration infrastructure aligned with the needs of our stakeholders.

事实检查，学术和社区合作工具：与少数民族领导的合作伙伴关系（FACT CHAMP）对抗仇恨，虐待和错误信息（FACT CHAMP）将建立工具和基础设施，以使最先进的研究和实践能够在线遏制错误的错误信息。我们的平台将简化和促进事实检查员，非政府组织，研究人员和社区领导者的合作，尤其是来自少数群体的人。事实将使实践者和社区领导者能够与学者安全地分享错误信息数据和研究挑战。同时，它还将允许在实践中更容易使用学术解决方案。事实冠军包括社会科学与计算机科学研究的融合以及一系列非营利，创业，行业和学术伙伴。我们将与亚裔岛民和太平洋岛民社区密切合作进行深入的民族志启发性研究，在Covid-19之后，大致行动的错觉和仇恨言论激增。我们还将开展三项概念验证活动，以了解如何最好地实现研究人员，事实检查员和社区领袖之间的深入而有意义的合作，以打击仇恨，虐待和失误。通过这些活动，我们将提高有关检测争议和仇恨内容的研究，提高我们对仇恨言论和错觉的理解，最重要的是，迭代地开发了新工具，并适应现有工具以创建与利益相关者需求相符的协作基础设施。
