Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of Internet security and deep learning technology, and in particular to a false news detection method and system based on time interval and knowledge fusion. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] With the rapid development of the Internet, social media has completely changed the way people get information, and along with it, various false information has been promoted. These false information often contain forged multimedia content, especially false news. The spread of false news has had a serious impact on society, and some lawless elements even use this information to guide public opinion and disrupt social peace. Therefore, it is imperative to detect and regulate false news, ensure that users get real information, and thus maintain social harmony.

[0004] However, the identification and detection of fake news on social media is still in an imperfect stage. It is difficult to completely deal with fake news that has been published if only manual identification and detection are relied upon. Under such circumstances, technicians in related fields have begun to choose to build algorithm models based on deep learning to achieve automatic detection of fake news, which has greatly improved the detection efficiency compared to manual identification.

[0005] At present, technicians in related fields have been conducting more and more in-depth research on fake news detection through deep learning methods; however, the inventors found that the existing fake news detection methods still have some technical problems, such as:

[0006] (1) In order to improve the accuracy of fake news detection, existing fake news detection methods began to analyze news data based on multiple modalities. However, in the process of model design and feature extraction, the modal features were only focused on the direct fusion of news text and news images, while ignoring more complex semantic associations, resulting in the neglect of the rich knowledge information behind the news text; and this information is useful for fake news detection, and external knowledge can provide rich related information. Therefore, the accuracy of existing fake news detection methods is still not ideal.

[0007] (2) Existing fake news detection methods lack the analysis and judgment of the time interval information of news events during detection, and ignore the characteristics of the time dimension; without the time interval drive, it is difficult to accurately capture the evolution of information and the change of relationships.

[0049] Embodiment 1

[0050] This embodiment discloses a fake news detection method based on time interval and knowledge fusion.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the fake news detection method based on time interval and knowledge fusion includes:

[0052] Step S1, obtaining target news data, wherein the target news data includes a target news image and a target news text;

[0053] Step S2, extracting image features of the target news image based on the VGG-19 convolutional neural network, and converting the obtained image features into image feature vectors; semantically representing the target news text based on the BERT text encoder, and converting the obtained semantic representation into a text feature vector; extracting entities from the target news text and performing entity linking to obtain external knowledge supplements, and converting the obtained external knowledge supplements into external knowledge feature vectors; calculating the time interval by extracting the occurrence time of the target news event and the news release time, and converting the obtained time interval into a time interval feature vector;

[0054] Step S3, performing feature fusion on the image feature vector, text feature vector, external knowledge feature vector and time interval feature vector, and inputting the fused features into a multi-layer perceptron classifier to judge the authenticity of the target news data.

[0055] Based on the above process, the present invention can pay attention to the complex semantic associations and time dimension characteristics in news data, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of identifying false news. In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present invention, the specific implementation steps of the technical solution of the present invention are further explained and illustrated below.

[0056] Step S1, obtaining target news data; wherein the target news data includes a target news image and a target news text.

[0057] In this embodiment, a public multimodal dataset is used as a basic dataset. At the same time, the data is amplified by acquiring new news data from several large websites with rich data using web crawler technology. Finally, target news data is acquired from the amplified multimodal dataset.

[0058] Furthermore, after acquiring the target news data and before extracting the features, it is necessary to determine whether there is noise data in the target news text. If there is, the target news text is denoised to reduce the interference of irrelevant information. The noise data generally refers to special symbols and expressions in the news text.

[0059] Step S2: extract image features of the target news image based on the VGG-19 convolutional neural network, and convert the obtained image features into image feature vectors; perform semantic representation of the target news text based on the BERT text encoder, and convert the obtained semantic representation into text feature vectors; extract entities from the target news text and perform entity linking to obtain external knowledge supplements, and convert the obtained external knowledge supplements into external knowledge feature vectors; calculate the time interval by extracting the occurrence time of the target news event and the news release time, and convert the obtained time interval into a time interval feature vector. This can be achieved specifically by the following steps:

[0060] Step S2-1, extract image features of the target news image based on the VGG-19 convolutional neural network, and convert the obtained image features into image feature vectors.

[0061] VGG-19 is a classic deep convolutional neural network, which consists of 19 weight layers in total, including 16 convolutional layers and 3 fully connected layers. Specifically, the convolutional layer is used for feature extraction, that is, efficient feature extraction is achieved by stacking small convolution kernels; the pooling layer is used for downsampling to reduce the size of the feature map while retaining important features; the fully connected layer is used to map the extracted features to the classification space; the Softmax output layer can output probability distribution for classification.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a pre-trained VGG-19 network is used to extract the image features of the target news, that is, the target news image is input into the convolutional neural network based on VGG-19 for feature extraction, the deep features of the image are extracted through the convolutional layer in the network, and the extracted image features are vectorized to generate an image feature vector. In order to ensure that the multimodal features of subsequent news can be aligned and spliced, a fully connected layer is added to the last layer of the convolutional neural network based on VGG-19 to adjust the dimension of the final output image features. Specifically, the calculation formula of the image feature vector is as follows:

[0063] R v =σ(W v ·F vgg );

[0064] Among them, R v represents the image feature vector, W v represents the weight matrix of the fully connected layer attached to the output layer of the VGG-19 network; F vgg Represents the output features of the last layer of the VGG-19 network. The output features F vgg After the linear transformation, the tanh activation function (represented by the symbol σ) is applied to perform nonlinear processing on the result of the linear transformation, and finally the image feature vector R with unified dimension is obtained. v , in preparation for subsequent splicing operations.

[0065] The advantage of using VGG-19 as the image feature extractor in this embodiment is that by stacking multiple convolutional layers, high-dimensional deep features in the image can be extracted. This network structure can capture the details and high-level semantic information of the image, while reducing the dependence on large-scale annotated data and improving the accuracy of feature extraction.

[0066] Step S2-2: semantically represent the target news text based on the BERT text encoder, and convert the obtained semantic representation into a text feature vector.

[0067] First, the target news text is vectorized and BERT is used as a text encoder. When input, the text is processed into a word sequence T = [T1, T2, …, T n ]; where n represents the length of the text. Then, the word sequence T (i.e., the input sequence) is passed into the pre-trained BERT model and converted into an input feature matrix H, which contains the contextual features of each word, namely:

[0068] H = BERT(T);

[0069] Where H represents the input feature matrix, T represents the input sequence, BERT(·) represents encoding the input sequence T, and uses BERT’s aggregate sequence representation as the text feature; the text feature BERT is input into the fully connected layer, which can be further reduced to a fixed-dimensional text feature vector R T .

[0070] In this embodiment, the advantage of using BERT as a text feature extractor is that it can capture the deep contextual semantics of words from the input text and model the text semantics more accurately. At the same time, BERT can also capture the logical relationships across sentences and long-distance word associations well.

[0071] Step S2-3: extract entities from the target news text and perform entity linking to obtain external knowledge supplements, and convert the obtained external knowledge supplements into external knowledge feature vectors.

[0072] For entities extracted from the target news text content, the entity linking tool is used to obtain external knowledge information supplement, and entity association is performed to eliminate the ambiguity between text and knowledge. The acquired external knowledge is processed into a feature vector by the same BERT text encoder as in step S2-2, and further processed into a fixed-dimensional external knowledge feature R K .

[0073] Furthermore, the entity linking tool is used to obtain external knowledge information supplements, including:

[0074] Entities in the target news text are extracted through named entity recognition technology. The bert-chinese-ner model pre-trained on Hugging Face is used here. After the entities are extracted, the API of CN-DBpedia (Fudan University's large structured encyclopedia) is used to call the conceptual knowledge corresponding to the extracted entities and write them into the document. BERT is used for subsequent processing, and the process is consistent with that of processing news text.

[0075] Furthermore, entity association is used to eliminate ambiguity between text and knowledge, including:

[0076] Extract the sentence where the entity is located and its preceding and following sentences as context, obtain the knowledge description of the candidate entity through the API, use BERT to encode the context and candidate knowledge description into vectors, calculate the cosine similarity between the context vector and each candidate description vector, and select the best candidate entity and its conceptual knowledge. Specifically, the cosine similarity formula is expressed as:

[0077]

[0078] Among them, cos_similarity represents cosine similarity, v 上下文 represents the context vector, v 知识描述 Represents the candidate knowledge description vector.

[0079] Step S2-4, calculating the time interval by extracting the occurrence time of the target news event and the news release time, and converting the obtained time interval into a time interval feature vector.

[0080] For each article (target news event), record its release time and parse all event time sets mentioned in the target news; calculate the time interval by selecting the earliest time in the time set mentioned in the article. Specifically, the time interval calculation formula is:

[0081] tinterval =t post -min{t1,t2,…,t n};

[0082] Among them, t interval represents the time interval, t post represents the news release time, {t1,t2,…,t n} represents the time set of all events mentioned in the target news; min{t1,t2,…,t n} represents the minimum value of all event time sets mentioned in the target news, that is, the earliest time.

[0083] Furthermore, the time interval information of the target news is normalized and encoded using the Sigmoid function and the tanh function to convert the obtained time interval into a time interval feature vector. Specifically:

[0084] t rep =tanh(Sigmoid(t interval ));

[0085] Among them, t rep Represents the time interval feature vector, tanh() represents the activation function, which is used to map the input value to between -1 and 1; Sigmoid() also represents the activation function, which is used to map the input value to between 0 and 1, which is suitable for representing probability or normalized results. In the specific implementation process, the time interval value is first normalized to (0,1) through the activation function Sigmoid(); then, it is mapped to the (-1,1) interval through the activation function tanh to further enhance the feature's expressiveness.

[0086] In this embodiment, the advantage of introducing the time interval feature is that it can reflect the time difference from the occurrence to the reporting of a news event, obtain additional contextual information from the time dimension, thereby enhancing the overall expression ability and improving the accuracy and timeliness of fake news detection.

[0087] Step S3, performing feature fusion on the obtained image feature vector, text feature vector, external knowledge feature vector and time interval feature vector, and inputting the fused features into a multi-layer perceptron classifier to judge the authenticity of the target news data.

[0088] The image feature vector, text feature vector, external knowledge feature vector and time interval feature vector are concatenated (feature fusion), input into the pre-trained classifier, and the result of classification is whether the target news is fake news. Specifically:

[0089] The text feature vector R is obtained through step S2 T , image feature vector R v, external knowledge feature vector R K and the time interval characteristic t rep , the four multimodal features are concatenated to obtain the joint feature representation R of the target news, which is the fused feature. Specifically, the calculation method of the joint feature representation R is as follows:

[0090]

[0091] in, Represents a connection operation. Finally, the joint feature representation R is used to judge the authenticity of the target news data through a multi-layer perceptron classifier with a fully connected layer. Furthermore, when the fused features are input into the multi-layer perceptron classifier to judge the authenticity of the target news data, the softmax logistic regression function is used to obtain the binary classification result of whether the target news is fake news. Specifically, the calculation formula is as follows:

[0092] p=softmax(W R ·R);

[0093] Among them, p represents the binary classification result, W R represents the parameters of the fully connected layer in the multi-layer perceptron, softmax() represents the calculation of the logistic regression function, and R represents the joint feature representation. The present invention not only improves the detection accuracy but also significantly improves the detection efficiency through the joint modeling of multimodal features and the efficient classification strategy of the binary classification detector, thereby realizing the rapid identification of fake news.

[0094] Different from the existing fake news detection models, the present invention proposes a multimodal fake news detection method that comprehensively considers time interval features, external knowledge features, text features, and image features. This method uses an innovative time interval feature extraction strategy, combined with text, images, and external knowledge, to provide a more comprehensive and robust fake news detection mechanism from the perspective of temporal dynamics and semantic enhancement. This method effectively avoids the problems of information loss and modal imbalance that may exist in existing models, and significantly improves the accuracy and timeliness of fake news detection through more efficient feature extraction and fusion methods.
