Stance detection is the extraction of a subject's reaction to a claim made by a primary actor. It is a core part of a set of approaches to fake news assessment.
Example:
- Source: "Apples are the most delicious fruit in existence"
- Reply: "Obviously not, because that is a reuben from Katz's"
- Stance: deny
