Bu Yuyan 卜语嫣

I am currently a Researcher at the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), working with Dr. Yaodong Yang. I received my master’s degree from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICT, CAS), where I was advised by Prof. Jintao Li and Prof. Juan Cao. Throughout my academic journey, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with several outstanding researchers, including Qiang Sheng, Peng Qi, and Juntao Dai. My research interests include:

  • AI Safety
  • Misinformation Video Detection

The Fourteenth International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 2026)
Paper / GitHub Repo
TL;DR: We propose a multilingual consistency loss that can be plugged into existing alignment pipelines to improve multilingual safety of LLMs efficiently.
Enhancing Fake News Video Detection via LLM-Driven Creative Process Simulation

Proceedings of the 34th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2025)
Preprint / Paper / Media Coverage: 52CV
TL;DR: We propose AgentAug, which simulates the creative process of fake news videos using LLMs to mitigate the data scarcity issue.
FakingRecipe: Detecting Fake News on Short Video Platforms from the Perspective of Creative Process

Proceedings of the 32nd ACM International Conference on Multimedia (MM 2024)
Preprint / Paper / GitHub Repo / Chinese Blog
TL;DR: We detect fake news on short video platforms by modeling videos from the faking process perspective and constructed a FakeSV's sister dataset in English, namely FakeTT.

TL;DR: We conduct the very first survey focusing on online misinformation video detection, to the best of our knowledge.

FakeSV: A Multimodal Benchmark with Rich Social Context for Fake News Detection on Short Video Platforms
Peng Qi, Yuyan Bu, Juan Cao, Wei Ji, Ruihao Shui, Junbin Xiao, Danding Wang, Tat-Seng Chua
Proceedings of the Thirty-Seventh AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2023)
Paper / GitHub Repo
TL;DR: We construct the largest Chinese fake news short video dataset, namely FakeSV. This dataset contains complete news contents and rich social context under different events, and thus can support a wide range of research tasks related to fake news. It firstly provides abundant debunking videos accompanying the fake and real news videos. We provide exploratory multi-perspective data analysis, which reveals some interesting and insightful phenomenons. Moreover, we design a new multimodal detection model as the SOTA method in this benchmark. We also re-implement 11 single-modal and 4 multimodal methods as baseline methods.
