With the prosperity of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, misinformation can be disseminated widely among the general public, causing a severe threat to the trustworthiness of computational social systems. To address this critical issue, various misinformation detection models have been proposed recently. However, the existing methods either use black-box deep learning (DL) models which cannot provide explainability of detection results, or leverage shallow experience-based explainable models which leads to low detection accuracy.This project aims to create a novel knowledge-driven approach to build both accurate and explainable misinformation detection models for trustworthy computational social systems. To this end, I will first establish a novel knowledge-driven integration mechanism to seamlessly integrate social psychological theories with DL models based on multi-modal social media data. Secondly, a novel explanation scheme will be developed to effectively convey social psychological theories into reliable model explainability through knowledge extraction. Thirdly, an accurate and explainable DL framework will be constructed base on hybrid DL models and hierarchical attention-based explanation. Finally, a prototype system will be developed to implement the proposed solutions and evaluate their performance. The scientific breakthroughs to be made in this project will contribute to provide the effective design of accurate and explainable misinformation detection models. The originality of this project lies in its interdisciplinary research on how to establish an innovative explainable DL approach for trustworthy computational social systems. A series of well-arranged research, training, knowledge transfer, and open science activities are planned to accomplish the ambitious aim of this project, facilitate knowledge transfer and dissemination, and enhance my creative and innovative potential and careerprospects with new skills and competences.

借助Facebook和Twitter等社交媒体平台的繁荣，可以在公众中广泛传播错误信息，从而对计算社会系统的可信度造成严重威胁。为了解决这个关键问题，最近提出了各种错误信息检测模型。但是，现有方法要么使用黑盒深度学习（DL）模型，该模型无法提供检测结果的解释性，要么利用基于经验的可解释模型，这会导致较低的检测准确性。该项目旨在创建一种新颖的知识驱动方法来构建准确且可解释的误解误导性检测模型，以实现可信赖的计算社会系统。为此，我将首先建立一种新颖的知识融合机制，以将社会心理理论与基于多模式社交媒体数据的DL模型无缝整合。其次，将制定一种新颖的解释计划，以有效地将社会心理理论传达到可靠的模型中，通过知识提取来解释。第三，将在混合DL模型和基于分层注意力的解释上构建一个准确且可解释的DL框架。最后，将开发一个原型系统来实施提出的解决方案并评估其性能。该项目要进行的科学突破将有助于提供准确且可解释的错误信息检测模型的有效设计。该项目的独创性在于其跨学科研究，即如何为可信赖的计算社会系统建立创新的可解释的DL方法。计划进行一系列良好的研究，培训，知识转移和开放科学活动，以实现该项目的雄心勃勃的目标，促进知识转移和传播，并以新的技能和能力来增强我的创造力和创新潜力以及职业生涯。
