构建首个德语电报谣言检测图数据集,利用网络传播结构提升识别效果。

MisinfoTeleGraph: Network-driven Misinformation Detection for German Telegram Messages

  • 基于消息转发关系构建电报网络图,融合多源标签
  • 图神经网络比纯文本模型在F1和MCC上提升显著
  • 适合研究低监管平台谣言检测与弱监督学习

连接性与信息传播是谣言检测中关键但常被忽视的信息源,尤其在电报这类监管较弱的平台中,其已成为德国选举期间谣言传播的重要渠道。本文提出MisinfoTeleGraph,首个面向德语电报消息的图数据集,包含超过500万条公开频道消息,附带元数据、频道关系及弱标签与强标签。标签通过M3嵌入与事实核查内容和新闻文章的语义相似度计算获得,并辅以人工标注。为建立可复现基线,我们评估了仅使用文本的模型与融合消息转发结构的图神经网络(GNN)。结果表明,采用LSTM聚合的GraphSAGE在马修斯相关系数(MCC)和F1-score上显著优于纯文本基线。进一步分析了订阅数、观看次数以及自动生成与人工标签对性能的影响,揭示了弱监督在此领域的潜力与挑战。本工作为德语电报网络及其他低监管社交平台的谣言检测研究提供了可复现基准与开源数据集。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Connectivity and message propagation are central, yet often underutilized, sources of information in misinformation detection -- especially on poorly moderated platforms such as Telegram, which has become a critical channel for misinformation dissemination, namely in the German electoral context. In this paper, we introduce Misinfo-TeleGraph, the first German-language Telegram-based graph dataset for misinformation detection. It includes over 5 million messages from public channels, enriched with metadata, channel relationships, and both weak and strong labels. These labels are derived via semantic similarity to fact-checks and news articles using M3-embeddings, as well as manual annotation. To establish reproducible baselines, we evaluate both text-only models and graph neural networks (GNNs) that incorporate message forwarding as a network structure. Our results show that GraphSAGE with LSTM aggregation significantly outperforms text-only baselines in terms of Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) and F1-score. We further evaluate the impact of subscribers, view counts, and automatically versus human-created labels on performance, and highlight both the potential and challenges of weak supervision in this domain. This work provides a reproducible benchmark and open dataset for future research on misinformation detection in German-language Telegram networks and other low-moderation social platforms.
