INTRODUCTION

----------------

The Second International TrueFact Workshop: Making a Credible Web for Tomorrow will provide a forum where researchers and practitioners from academia, government and industry can share insights and identify new challenges and opportunities in misinformation, data quality, truth finding and discovery, fact-checking, credibility analysis, and rumor detection. The workshop will be held in San Diego, CA on August 23, 2020 in conjunction with the ACM SIGKDD 2020.

In addition to the regular workshop, we will also host a data challenge track with two shared tasks for fake review detection in an adversarial framework and fake news detection (details will be announced later).
