Abstract

Based on the supernetwork theory, a two-step rumor detection model was proposed. The first step was the classification of users on the basis of user-based features. In the second step, non-user-based features, including psychology-based features, content-based features, and parts of supernetwork-based features, were used to detect rumors posted by different types of users. Four machine learning methods, namely, Naive Bayes, Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, and Logistic Regression, were applied to train the classifier. Four real cases and several assessment metrics were employed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model. Performance of the model regarding early rumor detection was also evaluated by separating the datasets according to the posting time of posts. Results showed that this model exhibited better performance in rumor detection compared to five benchmark models, mainly owing to the application of the supernetwork theory and the two-step mechanism.
