 # AI models for identifying trigger events in disinformation analysis
+Final Dissertation Submission Repository
 
-## Abstract
-Disinformation on the internet has become a significant and growing challenge, driven by the sheer volume and speed of content generation across digital platforms. 
-
-While prior work has thoroughly investigated tasks such as automatic disinformation detection, especially using large language models, comparatively little attention has been paid to applying these techniques to generative analyses of claims.  In particular, the retrieval of structured contextual background information that explains why disinformation spreads remains underexplored.
- 
-This paper introduces a dataset of trigger events, defined as actions or statements that influence the creation, spread or believability of disinformation claims. 
-The dataset is created using large language models as few-shot retrievers and subsequently validated through an ensemble classifier to ensure consistency.
-
-We find that we can successfully retrieve a large dataset of trigger events with high accuracy, and that the dataset proves useful in applications that can be useful in the real-world scenarios of debunking and prebunking.

-## Repository Information
-
-This repository contains the code for main dataset generation, as a [langchain](https://www.langchain.com/) project. 
-
-![diagram](literature/design.png)
-
-In **green** is claim normalisation based on [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.17402)
-
-In **red** is the main AI processing, based on a simple tool invocation setup
-
-![tool invocation](literature/prompting.png)
-
-Finally, in **yellow** is an ensemble model to quantify the usefullness of the AI generated responses, compared against a human-labelled dataset
-
-## Generated Dataset Link
-
-A dataset of this pipeline ran against 2000 input claims from [StopFake](https://www.stopfake.org/en/main/) and [ScienceFeedback](https://science.feedback.org/) is available on [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/datasets/WillJeynes/LLMsForDisinformationAnalysis-Dataset)
-
-
-## More information
-A Graph-Based Dataset Visualisation tool is available [online](https://jillweynes.github.io/LLMsForDisinformationPrediction-GraphVizBuilt/), to show the potential usability of the content.
-
-This and other usage experiments can be seen on the [sister repository](https://git.host.jeynes.uk/jill/LLMsForDisinformationPrediction)
