DiHAN: A Novel Dynamic Hierarchical Graph Attention Network for Fake News Detection

Published: 21 October 2024 Publication History

Abstract

The rapid spread of fake news on social media has caused great harm to society in recent years, which raises the detection of fake news as an urgent task. Recent methods utilize the interactions among different entities such as authors, subjects, and news articles to model news propagation as a static heterogeneous information network (HIN). However, this is suboptimal since fake news emerges dynamically, and the latent chronological interactions between news in HIN are essential signals for fake news detection. To this end, we model the dynamics of news and associated entities as a News-Driven Dynamic Heterogeneous Information Network (News-DyHIN), where the temporal relationships among news articles are well captured with meta-path based temporal neighbors. With the support of News-DyHIN, we propose a novel fake news detection framework, named <u> D </u>ynam<u> i </u>c <u> H </u>ierarchical <u> A </u>ttention <u> N </u>etwork (DiHAN), which learns news representations via a hierarchical attention mechanism to fuse temporal interactions among news articles. In particular, DiHAN first employs a temporal node level attention to learn the temporal information from meta-path based news neighbors through the modeled News-DyHIN. Then, a semantic attention layer is adopted to fuse different types of meta-path based temporal information for news representation learning. Extensive evaluations conducted on two public real-world datasets demonstrate that our proposed DiHAN achieves significant improvements over established baseline models.
