Abstract

To detect rumors automatically in social media, methods based on recurrent neural network and convolutional neural network have been proposed. These methods split a stream of posts related to an event into several groups along time, and represent each group using unsupervised methods such as paragraph vector. However, many posts in a group (e.g., retweeted posts) do not contribute much to rumor detection, which deteriorates the performance of rumor detection based on unsupervised group embedding. In this paper, we propose a Supervised Group Embedding based Rumor Detection (SGERD) model that considers both textual and temporal information. Particularly, SGERD exploits post-level textual information to generate group embeddings, and is able to identify salient posts for further analysis. Experimental results on two real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model.
