The Internet is becoming a major source of radicalization. The propaganda efforts of new extremist groups include creating new propaganda videos from fragments of old terrorist attack videos. This article presents a web-scraping method for retrieving relevant videos and a pHash-based algorithm which identifies the original content of a video. Automatic novelty verification is now possible, which can potentially reduce and improve journalist research work, as well as reduce the spreading of fake news. The obtained results have been satisfactory as all original sources of new videos have been identified correctly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
