The rapid development of social media changes the lifestyle of people and simultaneously provides an ideal place for publishing and disseminating rumors, which severely exacerbates social panic and triggers a crisis of social trust. Early content-based methods focused on finding clues from the text and user profiles for rumor detection. Recent studies combine the stances of users comments with news content to capture the difference between true and false rumors. Although the users stance is effective for rumor detection, the manual labeling process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which limits the application of utilizing it to facilitate rumor detection. In this paper, we first finetune a pre-trained BERT model on a small labeled dataset and leverage this model to annotate weak stance labels for users comment data to overcome the problem mentioned above. Then, we propose a novel Stance-aware Reinforcement Learning Framework (SRLF) to select high-quality labeled stance data for model training and rumor detection. Both the stance selection and rumor detection tasks are optimized simultaneously to promote both tasks mutually. We conduct experiments on two commonly used real-world datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that our framework outperforms the state-of-the-art models significantly, which confirms the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Online forums and social media platforms are increasingly being used to discuss topics of varying polarities where different people take different stances. Several methodologies for automatic stance detection from text have been proposed in literatur e. To our knowledge, there has not been any systematic investigation towards their reproducibility, and their comparative performances. In this work, we explore the reproducibility of several existing stance detection models, including both neural models and classical classifier-based models. Through experiments on two datasets -- (i)~the popular SemEval microblog dataset, and (ii)~a set of health-related online news articles -- we also perform a detailed comparative analysis of various methods and explore their shortcomings. Implementations of all algorithms discussed in this paper are available at https://github.com/prajwal1210/Stance-Detection-in-Web-and-Social-Media.
In this paper we introduce a framework for annotating a social media text corpora for various categories. Since, social media data is generated via individuals, it is important to annotate the text for the individuals demographic attributes to enable a socio-technical analysis of the corpora. Furthermore, when analyzing a large data-set we can often annotate a small sample of data and then train a prediction model using this sample to annotate the full data for the relevant categories. We use a case study of a Facebook comment corpora on student loan discussion which was annotated for gender, military affiliation, age-group, political leaning, race, stance, topicalilty, neoliberlistic views and civility of the comment. We release three datasets of Facebook comments for further research at: https://github.com/socialmediaie/StudentDebtFbComments

In the computational detection of cyberbullying, existing work largely focused on building generic classifiers that rely exclusively on text analysis of social media sessions. Despite their empirical success, we argue that a critical missing piece is the model explainability, i.e., why a particular piece of media session is detected as cyberbullying. In this paper, therefore, we propose a novel deep model, HEterogeneous Neural Interaction Networks (HENIN), for explainable cyberbullying detection. HENIN contains the following components: a comment encoder, a post-comment co-attention sub-network, and session-session and post-post interaction extractors. Extensive experiments conducted on real datasets exhibit not only the promising performance of HENIN, but also highlight evidential comments so that one can understand why a media session is identified as cyberbullying.
Fact verification is a challenging task that requires simultaneously reasoning and aggregating over multiple retrieved pieces of evidence to evaluate the truthfulness of a claim. Existing approaches typically (i) explore the semantic interaction betw een the claim and evidence at different granularity levels but fail to capture their topical consistency during the reasoning process, which we believe is crucial for verification; (ii) aggregate multiple pieces of evidence equally without considering their implicit stances to the claim, thereby introducing spurious information. To alleviate the above issues, we propose a novel topic-aware evidence reasoning and stance-aware aggregation model for more accurate fact verification, with the following four key properties: 1) checking topical consistency between the claim and evidence; 2) maintaining topical coherence among multiple pieces of evidence; 3) ensuring semantic similarity between the global topic information and the semantic representation of evidence; 4) aggregating evidence based on their implicit stances to the claim. Extensive experiments conducted on the two benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model over several state-of-the-art approaches for fact verification.

Social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, has become one of the most important channels for information dissemination. However, these social media platforms are often misused to spread rumors, which has brought about severe social problems, and con sequently, there are urgent needs for automatic rumor detection techniques. Existing work on rumor detection concentrates more on the utilization of textual features, but diffusion structure itself can provide critical propagating information in identifying rumors. Previous works which have considered structural information, only utilize limited propagation structures. Moreover, few related research has considered the dynamic evolution of diffusion structures. To address these issues, in this paper, we propose a Neural Model using Dynamic Propagation Structures (NM-DPS) for rumor detection in social media. Firstly, we propose a partition approach to model the dynamic evolution of propagation structure and then use temporal attention based neural model to learn a representation for the dynamic structure. Finally, we fuse the structure representation and content features into a unified framework for effective rumor detection. Experimental results on two real-world social media datasets demonstrate the salience of dynamic propagation structure information and the effectiveness of our proposed method in capturing the dynamic structure.
