DetectFake and DAFn: the recorded research proposal

The 2020 catalogue presented DAFn as research into linguistic analysis of news. A classification label is not proof that an event happened.

A distinct catalogue entry

The proposal appeared as DetectFake and Detector Automático de Fake News. It addressed a general Portuguese-speaking audience. Unlike neighbouring commercial pages, its status identified a research project. This distinction helps separate a demonstration from a product.

What the text described

The document linked the proposal to algorithms and linguistic characteristics found in false news. It contains no reproducible test, evaluation sample or current accuracy measurement. It is evidence of the project’s presentation rather than a certificate for a message.

From classification to checking

The NILC-FakeNews history keeps research credits tied to their own sources. For a question received today, this edition’s worksheet organises the claim, origin, evidence and remaining uncertainty. It does not send content to a historical classifier.
