EANN: Event Adversarial Neural Networks for Multi-Modal Fake News Detection
Yaqing Wang, Fenglong Ma, Zhiwei Jin, Ye Yuan, Guangxu Xun, Kishlay Jha, Lu Su, Jing Gao

SUNY Buffalo. KDD, 2018.

Dataset

We recently release a dataset (in Chinese) on fake news from Wechat. The dataset includes news titile, report content, news url and image url. Find more details via https://github.com/yaqingwang/WeFEND-AAAI20

The data folder contains a subset of weibo dataset for a quick start. If you are interested in full weibo dataset, you can download it via https://drive.google.com/file/d/14VQ7EWPiFeGzxp3XC2DeEHi-BEisDINn/view?usp=sharing. (Approximately 1.3GB)

Main Idea

One of the unique challenges for fake news detection on social media is how to identify fake news on newly emerged events. The EANN is desgined to extract shared features among all events to effectively improve the performance of fake news detection on never-seen events.

Experiment

Comparision between reduced model (w/o adversarial) and EANN(w adversarial)

The feature representations learned by the proposed model EANN (right) are more discriminable than fake news detection (w/o adv).
