Abstract
The widespread use of clickbait headlines, crafted to mislead and maximize engagement, poses a significant challenge to online credibility. These headlines employ sensationalism, misleading claims, and vague language, underscoring the need for effective detection to ensure trustworthy digital content. The paper introduces, ClickGuard: a trustworthy adaptive fusion framework for clickbait detection. It combines BERT embeddings and structural features using a Syntactic-Semantic Adaptive Fusion Block (SSAFB) for dynamic integration. The framework incorporates a hybrid CNN-BiLSTM to capture patterns and dependencies. The model achieved 96.93% testing accuracy, outperforming state-of-the-art approaches. The model's trustworthiness is evaluated using LIME and Permutation Feature Importance (PFI) for interpretability and perturbation analysis. These methods assess the model's robustness and…
