Title: "You must come to this magnificent talk, everyone will be there!" — an Overview of Persuasion Techniques in NLP: corpora, methods and applications
Abstract: Disinformation is not merely a matter of false content, it is also about leveraging persuasive techniques to promote compelling narratives and agendas with the ultimate goal of shaping beliefs and behaviours. This talk introduces research on persuasion techniques, highlighting the psychological and emotional mechanisms underlying them, and presents state-of-the-art tools for detecting persuasion techniques. We will discuss the role of the techniques in shaping narratives and promoting intents and agendas, and offer insights into how these tools improve the identification and mitigation of deceptive content.
