• Abstract summary: We propose a novel semantic evolvement enhanced Graph Autoencoder for Rumor Detection (GARD) model in this paper. The model learns semantic evolvement information of events by capturing local semantic changes and global semantic evolvement information. In order to enhance the model's ability to learn the distinct patterns of rumors and non-rumors, we introduce a regularizer to further improve the model's performance.

• Abstract: Due to the rapid spread of rumors on social media, rumor detection has become an extremely important challenge. Recently, numerous rumor detection models which utilize textual information and the propagation structure of events have been proposed. However, these methods overlook the importance of semantic evolvement information of event in propagation process, which is often challenging to be truly learned in supervised training paradigms and traditional rumor detection methods. To address this issue, we propose a novel semantic evolvement enhanced Graph Autoencoder for Rumor Detection (GARD) model in this paper. The model learns semantic evolvement information of events by capturing local semantic changes and global semantic evolvement information through specific graph autoencoder and reconstruction strategies. By combining semantic evolvement information and propagation structure information, the model achieves a comprehensive understanding of event propagation and perform accurate and robust detection, while also detecting rumors earlier by capturing semantic evolvement information in the early stages. Moreover, in order to enhance the model's ability to learn the distinct patterns of rumors and non-rumors, we introduce a uniformity regularizer to further improve the model's performance. Experimental results on three public benchmark datasets confirm the superiority of our GARD method over the state-of-the-art approaches in both overall performance and early rumor detection.

  We propose a novel Epidemiology-informed Network (EIN) that integrates epidemiological knowledge to enhance performance. To adapt epidemiology theory to rumor detection, it is expected that each users stance toward the source information will be annotated. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed EIN not only outperforms state-of-the-art methods on real-world datasets but also exhibits enhanced robustness across varying tree depths.

  existing rumor detection algorithms show promising performance on yesterday's news. Due to a lack of substantial training data and prior expert knowledge, they are poor at spotting rumors concerning unforeseen events. We propose a unified contrastive transfer framework to detect rumors by adapting the features learned from well-resourced rumor data to that of the low-resourced with only few-shot annotations.

  In practical scenarios where training data is limited, many predictive signals in the data can be rather from some biases in data acquisition. We consider an adversarial threat model under a mutual information constraint to cover a wider class of perturbations in training. We propose an autoencoder-based training to implement the objective, as well as practical encoder designs to facilitate the proposed hybrid discriminative-generative training.
