Linguistic-style-aware Neural Networks for Fake News Detection

1 code implementation7 Jan 2023 Xinyi Zhou, Jiayu Li, Qinzhou Li, Reza Zafarani

We propose the hierarchical recursive neural network (HERO) to predict fake news by learning its linguistic style, which is distinguishable from the truth, as psychological theories reveal.

The Role of User Profile for Fake News Detection

no code implementations30 Apr 2019 Kai Shu, Xinyi Zhou, Suhang Wang, Reza Zafarani, Huan Liu

In an attempt to understand connections between user profiles and fake news, first, we measure users' sharing behaviors on social media and group representative users who are more likely to share fake and real news; then, we perform a comparative analysis of explicit and implicit profile features between these user groups, which reveals their potential to help differentiate fake news from real news.
