Abstract
As part of ROMCIR 2024, the 4th Workshop on Reducing Online Misinformation through Credible
Information Retrieval, Prof. David E. Losada was invited to give a Keynote Speech discussing the current
challenges related to the problem of health misinformation. The abstract of the speech follows.
In this presentation, I will share insights from our work at CiTIUS (Centro Singular de Investigación
en Tecnoloxías Intelixentes, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain) on the development of tech-
nological and scientific solutions for detecting health misinformation. I will delve into the complexities
of developing a multi-faceted retrieval system for misinformation detection that integrates multiple
content-based features. The challenges of creating robust credibility benchmarks, given the subjective
nature of credibility, will also be discussed. Lastly, I will share our recent efforts to evaluate the quality
of LLMs’ responses to health-related queries.
