Resumen
Many rumors spread quickly and widely on social media, affecting social stability. The rumors of most current detection methods only use textual information or introduce external auxiliary information (such as user information and propagation information) to enhance the detection effect, and the inherent statistical features of the corpus have not been fully used and compared with the external auxiliary features; in addition, statistical features are more certain and can only be obtained from textual information. Therefore, we adopted a method based on the adaptive fusion of word frequency distribution features and textual features to detect rumors. Statistical features were extracted by encoding statistical information through a variational autoencoder. We extracted semantic features and sequence features as textual features through a parallel network comprising a convolutional neural network and a bidirectional long-term memory network. In addition, we also designed an adaptive valve to only fuse useful statistical features with textual features according to the credibility of textual features, which can solve the over-fitting problem caused by the excessive use of statistical features. The accuracy of the model in three public datasets (Twitter15, Twitter16, and Weibo) reached 87.5%, 88.6%, and 95.8%, respectively, and the F1 value reached 87.4%, 88.5%, and 95.8%, respectively, showing that the model can effectively improve the performance of rumor detection.
