Research on the Characteristics of False Health Information Based on Computational Narrative Model
[Research purpose]In the face of massive amounts of health information,how to quickly and accurately discern the authentic-ity of the information is particularly crucial.The quantitative analysis of the characteristics of false health information is performed based on the computational narrative model to provide methodological support for accurately distinguishing false health information.[Research method]A computational narrative model of false health information on social media is built based on narratology theory,and the charac-teristics of false health information are characterized by three categories:narrative content,narrative logic,and narrative links.A feature dimensionality reduction extraction method based on semantic role labeling is proposed,a computational narrative network is constructed from false health information texts,and network structure analysis is used to compare the feature differences of different types of false health information.[Research conclusion]The empirical results show that the narrative network can describe the narrative strategies and intentions of false health information,and that it is appropriate for quantifying and analyzing the characteristics of various types of false health information.Semantic blobs in the network represent key concepts in narratives that highlight compelling issues in various health do-mains.The persuasion process of false health information involves a number of narrative logics,including behavior induction,exaggera-tion,and psychological identification,and the various logics complement each other through structural holes and clustered link patterns.
