Abstract

In recent years, social media takes the advantages of fast spreading speed, wide range and low cost to become the main channel for people to obtain news, which also makes it to be a hotbed for the proliferation of fake news, exposing users and society to huge risks. Due to the fact that there is some true information in fake news, traditional text feature detection algorithms are more difficult to detect the fake news. Therefore, it is necessary to use knowledge as auxiliary information to help detection. We propose a fake news detection framework using knowledge vectors, which can adopt existing and reliable news as knowledge sources and reduce the dependence on expert verification. The framework consists of three parts: event triple extraction based on reliable content, fusion knowledge vector and fake news detector. The experimental results on the data set show that the framework can fuse part of the knowledge information and optimize the detection performance.
