提出图上信息流多分类模型,实时检测虚假信息并减少误判和延迟。

Sequential Classification of Misinformation

  • 基于真实社交网络数据构建概率信息流图模型
  • 两种算法实现低误判率与快速检测,优于现有方法
  • 适合需要实时识别真假程度的平台应用

近年来,社交媒体中信息流的在线审计受到广泛关注,旨在监控虚假信息和假新闻等不良影响。以往研究多聚焦于将信息二分类为虚假或真实,但在实际场景中,多标签分类更为重要,例如区分“真实”“部分真实”和“虚假”信息。本文研究在线多类别信息流分类问题,基于真实社交网络的信息传播实证分析,提出一种图上的概率信息流模型。学习目标是同时最小化分类误差与检测时间。为此,本文提出两种检测算法:一种基于经典的多重序贯概率比检验,另一种为新颖的图神经网络驱动的序贯决策算法。两种算法均具备强统计保证。此外,还设计了一种数据驱动的方法来学习该概率模型。在两个真实数据集上的实验表明,所提算法在检测速度与分类准确率方面均优于当前最先进的虚假信息检测方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In recent years there have been a growing interest in online auditing of information flow over social networks with the goal of monitoring undesirable effects, such as, misinformation and fake news. Most previous work on the subject, focus on the binary classification problem of classifying information as fake or genuine. Nonetheless, in many practical scenarios, the multi-class/label setting is of particular importance. For example, it could be the case that a social media platform may want to distinguish between ``true", ``partly-true", and ``false" information. Accordingly, in this paper, we consider the problem of online multiclass classification of information flow. To that end, driven by empirical studies on information flow over real-world social media networks, we propose a probabilistic information flow model over graphs. Then, the learning task is to detect the label of the information flow, with the goal of minimizing a combination of the classification error and the detection time. For this problem, we propose two detection algorithms; the first is based on the well-known multiple sequential probability ratio test, while the second is a novel graph neural network based sequential decision algorithm. For both algorithms, we prove several strong statistical guarantees. We also construct a data driven algorithm for learning the proposed probabilistic model. Finally, we test our algorithms over two real-world datasets, and show that they outperform other state-of-the-art misinformation detection algorithms, in terms of detection time and classification error.
