论文摘要

个人可能会被假新闻误导,并无意中传播它而不知道它是错误的。这种现象经常被观察到,但尚未进行研究。我们在这项工作中的目的是评估假新闻传播者的意图。为了区分故意和无意间传播,我们研究了无意传播的心理解释。借助这个基础,我们提出了一个影响图,使用该图表,我们可以评估假新闻播放器的意图。我们广泛的实验表明,评估的意图可以有助于大大区分故意和无意的假新闻播放器。此外,估计的意图可以显着改善检测假新闻的当前技术。据我们所知,这是对个人在假新闻传播中的意图进行建模的第一项工作。

Individuals can be misled by fake news and spread it unintentionally without knowing it is false. This phenomenon has been frequently observed but has not been investigated. Our aim in this work is to assess the intent of fake news spreaders. To distinguish between intentional versus unintentional spreading, we study the psychological explanations of unintentional spreading. With this foundation, we then propose an influence graph, using which we assess the intent of fake news spreaders. Our extensive experiments show that the assessed intent can help significantly differentiate between intentional and unintentional fake news spreaders. Furthermore, the estimated intent can significantly improve the current techniques that detect fake news. To our best knowledge, this is the first work to model individuals' intent in fake news spreading.
