We are thrilled to announce that our paper “Attacking Open-domain Question Answering by Injecting Misinformation” has received the Area Chair Award (Question Answering) at the IJCNLP-AACL 2023 conference!
About the Paper
Our work presents a critical investigation into the growing challenge of misinformation in open-domain question answering. We highlight the risks that arise when QA systems are attacked with injected misinformation and emphasize the urgent need for robust systems capable of detecting and mitigating such threats Specifically, the paper proposes integrating question answering with misinformation detection as a promising defense strategy against adversarial manipulation in contemporary information ecosystems.
