• Abstract summary: Social media has made people more inclined to receive news through social networks than traditional sources. We propose a Global Local Attention Network (MGLAN) to detect fake news on social media. We show that MGLAN outperforms other models by capturing node-level discrimination to different node types.

• Abstract: The prominent role of social media in people's daily lives has made them more inclined to receive news through social networks than traditional sources. This shift in public behavior has opened doors for some to diffuse fake news on social media; and subsequently cause negative economic, political, and social consequences as well as distrust among the public. There are many proposed methods to solve the rumor detection problem, most of which do not take full advantage of the heterogeneous nature of news propagation networks. With this intention, we considered a previously proposed architecture as our baseline and performed the idea of structural feature extraction from the heterogeneous rumor propagation over its architecture using the concept of meta path-based embeddings. We named our model Meta Path-based Global Local Attention Network (MGLAN). Extensive experimental analysis on three state-of-the-art datasets has demonstrated that MGLAN outperforms other models by capturing node-level discrimination to different node types.

  Social media resurgence of antisocial behavior has exerted a downward spiral on stereotypical beliefs, and hateful comments towards individuals and social groups. Advances in graph neural networks employed on massive quantities of graph-structured data raise high hopes for the future of mediating communication on social media platforms. An approach based on graph convolutional data was employed to better capture the dependencies between the heterogeneous types of data.

  We propose a Cross-network Social User Embedding framework, namely DP-CroSUE, to learn the comprehensive representations of users in a privacy-preserving way. In particular, for each heterogeneous social network, we first introduce a hybrid differential privacy notion to capture the variation of privacy expectations for heterogeneous data types. To further enhance user embeddings, a novel cross-network GCN embedding model is designed to transfer knowledge across networks through those aligned users.

  Heterogeneous information network (HIN) embedding aims to map the structure and semantic information in a HIN to distributed representations. We propose a novel neural network method via implicitly utilizing attention and meta-paths. We first use the multi-layer graph convolutional network (GCN) framework, which performs a discriminative aggregation at each layer. We then give an effective relaxation and improvement via introducing a new propagation operation which can be separated from aggregation.

We believe that our network-based approach provides useful insights which pave the way to the future development of a system to detect misleading and harmful information spreading on social media.

  We propose a novel bi-directional graph model, named Bi-Directional Graph Convolutional Networks (Bi-GCN), to explore both characteristics by operating on both top-down and bottom-up propagation of rumors. It leverages a GCN with a top-down directed graph of rumor spreading to learn the patterns of rumor propagation, and a GCN with an opposite directed graph of rumor diffusion to capture the structures of rumor dispersion.
