Specifically, they design a self-supervised auxiliary task: based on Mask Language Modeling (MLM), it randomly masks certain words in the text and then requires the model to predict these masked words by combining modal information beyond text (audio and video). During testing, the model performs this auxiliary task in addition to the primary task (fake news classification), enabling adaptive adjustments based on the test data.

This strategy dynamically adjusts the fusion weights based on the consistency/similarity between the modalities. Specifically, if the consistency between certain modalities is high (e.g., the consistency between text and video content), the features of these modalities are given higher weight in the fusion; conversely, modalities with lower consistency are given lower weights.
