A Novel Agent-Based Rumor Spreading Model in Twitter

چکیده
Viral marketing, marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks, has experienced a significant encouragement in the last years. In this scope, Twitter is the most studied social network in viral marketing and the rumor spread is a widely researched problem. This paper contributes with a (1) novel agent-based social simulation model for rumors spread in Twitter. This model relies on the hypothesis that (2) when a user is recovered, this user will not influence his or her neighbors in the social network to recover. To support this hypothesis: (3) two Twitter rumor datasets are studied; (4) a baseline model which does not include the hypothesis is revised, reproduced, and implemented; (5) and a number of experiments are conducted comparing the real data with the two models results.

A computational model and convergence theorem for rumor dissemination in social networks
The spread of rumors, which are known as unverified statements of uncertain origin, may threaten the society and it's controlling, is important for national security councils of countries. If it would be possible to identify factors affecting spreading a rumor (such as agents’ desires, trust network, etc.) then, this could be used to slow down or stop its spreading. Therefore, a computational m...
متن کاملA Model for Detecting of Persian Rumors based on the Analysis of Contextual Features in the Content of Social Networks
The rumor is a collective attempt to interpret a vague but attractive situation by using the power of words. Therefore, identifying the rumor language can be helpful in identifying it. The previous research has focused more on the contextual information to reply tweets and less on the content features of the original rumor to address the rumor detection problem. Most of the studies have been in...

The widespread use of the social media has recently created a lot of interest in research on human interactions, and how ideas propagate among individuals. We review the standard rumor model adopted from the literature. These models assume that people spreading the rumor (spreaders) keep spreading it, and those who hear the rumor (ignorant) can become a spreader with a certain probability. We ...
متن کاملInformation extraction with network centralities: finding rumor sources, measuring influence, and learning community structure
Network centrality is a function that takes a network graph as input and assigns a score to each node. In this thesis, we investigate the potential of network centralities for addressing inference questions arising in the context of large-scale networked data. These questions are particularly challenging because they require algorithms which are extremely fast and simple so as to be scalable, w...
متن کاملFinding Rumor Sources on Random Graphs
We consider the problem of detecting the source of a rumor (information diffusion) in a network based on observations about which set of nodes possess the rumor. Finding rumor sources is a very general type of problem which arises in many different contexts. For example, the rumor could be a computer virus on the Internet, a contagious disease in a human population, or a trend in a social netwo...
