论文摘要

最近的事件,例如2016年美国总统竞选,英国脱欧和COVID-19“ Infodepic”,使人们引起了在线虚假信息的危险。有很多研究重点是事实检查和虚假信息检测。但是,很少关注用于传达宣传信息的特定修饰和心理技术。揭示这种技术的使用可以帮助促进媒体素养和批判性思维,并最终有助于限制“假新闻”和虚假信息运动的影响。 PRTA(宣传说服技术分析仪)允许用户通过突出宣传技术的跨度来定期探索这些文章,并根据使用宣传技术进行比较。该系统进一步报告了有关此类技术,整体和随着时间的使用,或根据用户根据时间间隔,关键字和/或媒体的政治取向指定的过滤标准的统计信息。此外,它允许用户通过专用接口或通过API分析任何文本或URL。该系统可在线获得:https://www.tanbih.org/prta

Recent events, such as the 2016 US Presidential Campaign, Brexit and the COVID-19 "infodemic", have brought into the spotlight the dangers of online disinformation. There has been a lot of research focusing on fact-checking and disinformation detection. However, little attention has been paid to the specific rhetorical and psychological techniques used to convey propaganda messages. Revealing the use of such techniques can help promote media literacy and critical thinking, and eventually contribute to limiting the impact of "fake news" and disinformation campaigns. Prta (Propaganda Persuasion Techniques Analyzer) allows users to explore the articles crawled on a regular basis by highlighting the spans in which propaganda techniques occur and to compare them on the basis of their use of propaganda techniques. The system further reports statistics about the use of such techniques, overall and over time, or according to filtering criteria specified by the user based on time interval, keywords, and/or political orientation of the media. Moreover, it allows users to analyze any text or URL through a dedicated interface or via an API. The system is available online: https://www.tanbih.org/prta
