We provide some practical tools for this, included lightweight recommended practices for Evaluation Quality Assurance (EQA), a toolkit to evaluate dataset quality, and the largest collection of misinformation datasets.
📜Full paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.05060
Categorical labels can underestimate the performance of generative systems by massive amounts, as much as half the errors or more; and error analysis and other simple steps could greatly improve the rigor and real-world impact of much of the research in the field.
In this work, we conducted the largest-scale survey to date of datasets in this domain, curating 75 and analyzing 45 in depth. We found that severe spurious correlations and ambiguities affect the majority of datasets in the literature.

🚀 Given these challenges, error analysis and other simple steps could greatly improve the robustness of research in the field. We propose a lightweight Evaluation Quality Assurance (EQA) framework to enable research results that translate more smoothly to real-world impact.
🛠️ We also provide practical tools:
• CDL-DQA: a toolkit to assess misinformation datasets
• CDL-MD: the largest misinformation dataset repo, now on Hugging Face 🤗
🔍 Categorical labels can underestimate the performance of generative systems by massive amounts: half the errors or more.
📊Severe spurious correlations and ambiguities affect the majority of datasets in the literature. For example, most datasets have many examples where one can’t conclusively assess veracity at all.
💡 Strong data and eval are essential for real-world progress. In "A Guide to Misinformation Detection Data and Evaluation"—to be presented at KDD 2025—we conduct the largest survey to date in this domain: 75 datasets curated, 45 accessible ones analyzed in depth. Key findings👇
We’re also actively recruiting members for the Program Committee. If you’re interested in reviewing or supporting the organization of the workshop, we welcome you to fill out this short interest form: 📷 forms.gle/tFgXBXH1dhKgy3FCA
