Adversarial Training for Robust Cross-Lingual Transfer in Low-Resource Languages

Abstract

Abstract: Development of methods to detect fake news (FN) in low-resource languages has been impeded by a lack of training data. In this study, we solve the problem by using only training data from a high-resource language. Our FN-detection system permitted this strategy by applying adversarial learning that transfers the detection knowledge through languages. To assist the knowledge transfer, our system judges the reliability of articles by exploiting source information, which is a cross-lingual feature that represents the credibility of the speaker. In experiments, our system got 3.71\% higher accuracy

Research Question

Can adversarial training on low-resource languages during multi-source cross-lingual transfer learning improve robustness and generalization to unseen languages in XTREME-R, as measured by accuracy metrics?

Verification Level

Descriptive public verification status only; aggregate claim counts are public, but individual claim records are not exposed here.

Truth-Engine Gate Verdict

This record has not completed Gate 2 of the verification pipeline (a type-checked Lean4 proof for mathematical claims, or a sealed-sandbox reproduction for empirical claims). It is a literature synthesis only. VERIFIED requires an attached reproducible artifact (Lean4 proof source, or repro script and results) before this status can be set; it is not derived from review score or claim count.

Quality Tier

Descriptive public triage only; this tier does not alter current publication or DOI behavior.

Quality Dimensions

Automated triage signals derived from public fields; not human peer review or independent validation.

Correction Record

Public corrections are additive records. Current status does not claim the synthesis is error-free.
