By integrating linguistics, communication and psychology theories, artificial intelligence, and statistics, he will model linguistic attributes of fake news and build a user-friendly dashboard, predict its dissemination scope and speed, inform interventions, and save lives

赵明明为香港教育大学讲座教授（数据分析及多元教育）和数据分析及评估研究中心总监。他担任南韩企业部长的资深顾问，并为卡塔尔教育部及中国教育部提供谘询。赵教授研发了统计语篇分析，为线上及面对面对话建模，获国际学习科学学会选为五十佳学习科学意念；多层次扩散分析，侦测各种意念如何在不同的群体中传播；人工智能统计专家系统，执行自动化统计分析；和线上侦测性掠夺者的程式。他的77项研究获发一亿二千九百万港币，成果见于265份出版物（176篇期刊文章；引用超过13,000次；中国教育排名8、心理排名46 [2020]）、13场会议专题演讲、5个电视节目、17个电台节目及170篇报刊文章，遍及21个国家。另外，赵教授亦创建了大数据自动统计分析。

COVID-19夺去上百万人的生命，但疫情相关的假资讯却令公众抗拒（接种疫苗、佩戴口罩等）防疫措施。赵教授将结合语言学、传播学、心理学、人工智能及统计学，构建一套欺骗写作策略理论模型，分析社交媒体上四种语言（英、中、韩、法）的疫情假资讯，并建立仪表板实时侦测及估算假资讯在网络社群的传播范围和速度，以拯救生命。
