EEGCN: Event Evolutionary Graph Comparison Network for Multi-Modal Fake News Detection

Published: 28 February 2024 Publication History

Abstract

In the contemporary landscape characterized by the pervasive use of social media, the proliferation of counterfeit news has become conspicuous. Consequently, the precise identification of such disinformation has assumed paramount significance. However, several existing methods for fake news detection tend to focus solely on entity information within the text or relationships between multimodal information, often overlooking the inherent knowledge of event evolutionary patterns embedded within the news text. In order to address the aforementioned issue, we propose an Event Evolutionary Graph Comparison Network for multimodal fake news detection (EEGCN). The primary objective of this network is to assist in fake news detection by comparing the patterns of event evolution in text data with those in pre-constructed event evolutionary graph. In order to fully harness the capabilities of the Event Evolutionary Graph Comparison Network, various comparison methods were explored. Experimental results on the Weibo dataset demonstrate that EEGCN outperforms previous multimodal fake news detection models, achieving superior performance.
