Hypergraph-Based Rumor Detection Model Integrating User Propagation Bias Information
[Objective]This paper aims to construct a tweet interaction hypergraph-based rumor detection model that integrates user propagation bias information to improve the accuracy of rumor detection.[Methods]A rumor detection model named UPBI_HGRD is proposed.The model integrates the user propagation bias information when obtaining the tweet node embedding representation,and constructs hyperedges based on user IDs to form a hypergraph that can reflect the interactive relationship of tweets.In addition,this paper proposes a tweet node-user hyperedge level multi-layer dual-level multi-head attention mechanism to focus on important tweet relationships,so as to effectively learn the embedding representation of nodes,and finally input it into a classifier to judge whether it is a rumor or not.[Results]The experimental results on three publicly available datasets show that the accuracy of the model reaches 94.57%,97.82%and 94.76%,respectively,which is better than the existing baseline model,and has an excellent performance in early detection of rumors,which proves the effectiveness of the model.[Limitations]The limitation of the model in this paper is that the process of obtaining the tweet embedding representation that integrates the user propagation bias information and constructing the hypergraph has a certain time overhead.In the future,further research will be done to improve the time efficiency of the model.[Conclusions]The proposed method effectively improves the accuracy of rumor detection and provides a novel approach to identifying online rumors.
