Dynamic properties of rumor propagation model induced by L´evy noise on social networks

Social networks are inevitably subject to disruptions from the physical world,such as sudden internet outages that sever local connections and impede information flow.While Gaussian white noise,commonly used to simulate stochastic disruptions,only fluctuates within a narrow range around its mean and fails to capture large-scale variations,L´evy noise can effectively compensate for this limitation.Therefore,a susceptible–infected–removed rumor propagation model with L´evy noise is constructed on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks,respectively.Then,the existence of a global positive solution and the asymptotic path-wise of the solution are derived on heterogeneous networks,and the sufficient conditions of rumor extinction and persistence are investigated.Subsequently,theoretical results are verified through numerical calculations and the sensitivity analysis related to the threshold is conducted on the model parameters.Through simulation experiments on Watts–Strogatz(WS)and Barab´asi–Albert networks,it is found that the addition of noise can inhibit the spread of rumors,resulting in a stochastic resonance phenomenon,and the optimal noise intensity is obtained on the WS network.The validity of the model is verified on three real datasets by particle swarm optimization algorithm.

CRB:A new rumor blocking algorithm in online social networks based on competitive spreading model and influence maximization

The virtuality and openness of online social platforms make networks a hotbed for the rapid propagation of various rumors.In order to block the outbreak of rumor,one of the most effective containment measures is spreading positive information to counterbalance the diffusion of rumor.The spreading mechanism of rumors and effective suppression strategies are significant and challenging research issues.Firstly,in order to simulate the dissemination of multiple types of information,we propose a competitive linear threshold model with state transition(CLTST)to describe the spreading process of rumor and anti-rumor in the same network.Subsequently,we put forward a community-based rumor blocking(CRB)algorithm based on influence maximization theory in social networks.Its crucial step is to identify a set of influential seeds that propagate anti-rumor information to other nodes,which includes community detection,selection of candidate anti-rumor seeds and generation of anti-rumor seed set.Under the CLTST model,the CRB algorithm has been compared with six state-of-the-art algorithms on nine online social networks to verify the performance.Experimental results show that the proposed model can better reflect the process of rumor propagation,and review the propagation mechanism of rumor and anti-rumor in online social networks.Moreover,the proposed CRB algorithm has better performance in weakening the rumor dissemination ability,which can select anti-rumor seeds in networks more accurately and achieve better performance in influence spread,sensitivity analysis,seeds distribution and running time.

An improved ISR-WV rumor propagation model based on multichannels with time delay and pulse vaccination

The rapid development of the Internet has broadened the channels of dissemination of information,it has also led to the rapid and widespread propagation of rumors,which can have a serious negative impact socially.In this paper,an improved ISR-WV rumor propagation model integrating multichannels is proposed by considering the system’s time delay,and the influence of different channels of propagation on the dynamic process is further analyzed.Moreover,the basic reproduction number R0,rumor-free equilibrium,and rumor-prevailing equilibrium,as well as their stability,are deduced.Then,an optimal control problem with pulse vaccination is designed.Finally,the validity of the model and theoretical results is verified by numerical simulations and a practical application.The results show that the rumor propagation threshold R0 is more sensitive to the rate of the propagation of the information base channel.The shorter the thinking timeτ_(1)required for the ignorant to react after obtaining the information,the larger the final scale of propagation.Under this condition,the time delayτ_(2)spent by a spreader in producing a video is negatively related to the final scale of the propagation;conversely,a longerτ_(1)implies that the person tends to more cognizant,which can suppress the spread of rumors.Under this condition,τ_(2)has little effect on the final scale of propagation.In addition,the results also prove that timely implementation of the pulse vaccination control strategy of popular science education can effectively control the propagation of rumors and reduce their negative impact.

Stability and optimal control for delayed rumor-spreading model with nonlinear incidence over heterogeneous networks

On the multilingual online social networks of global information sharing,the wanton spread of rumors has an enormous negative impact on people's lives.Thus,it is essential to explore the rumor-spreading rules in multilingual environment and formulate corresponding control strategies to reduce the harm caused by rumor propagation.In this paper,considering the multilingual environment and intervention mechanism in the rumor-spreading process,an improved ignorants–spreaders-1–spreaders-2–removers(I2SR)rumor-spreading model with time delay and the nonlinear incidence is established in heterogeneous networks.Firstly,based on the mean-field equations corresponding to the model,the basic reproduction number is derived to ensure the existence of rumor-spreading equilibrium.Secondly,by applying Lyapunov stability theory and graph theory,the global stability of rumor-spreading equilibrium is analyzed in detail.In particular,aiming at the lowest control cost,the optimal control scheme is designed to optimize the intervention mechanism,and the optimal control conditions are derived using the Pontryagin's minimum principle.Finally,some illustrative examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.The results show that optimizing the intervention mechanism can effectively reduce the densities of spreaders-1 and spreaders-2 within the expected time,which provides guiding insights for public opinion managers to control rumors.

Predicting abnormal trading behavior from internet rumor propagation:a machine learning approach

In 2021,the abnormal short-term price fluctuations of GameStop,which were triggered by internet stock discussions,drew the attention of academics,financial analysts,and stock trading commissions alike,prompting calls to address such events and maintain market stability.However,the impact of stock discussions on volatile trading behavior has received comparatively less attention than traditional fundamentals.Furthermore,data mining methods are less often used to predict stock trading despite their higher accuracy.This study adopts an innovative approach using social media data to obtain stock rumors,and then trains three decision trees to demonstrate the impact of rumor propagation on stock trading behavior.Our findings show that rumor propagation outperforms traditional fundamentals in predicting abnormal trading behavior.The study serves as an impetus for further research using data mining as a method of inquiry.

Deterministic and Stochastic Analysis of a New Rumor Propagation Model with Nonlinear Propagation Rate in Social Network

This paper presents a study on a new rumor propagation model with nonlinear propagation rate and secondary propagation rate. We divide the total population into three groups, the ignorant, the spreader and the aware.

社交网络中基于EHEM的两阶段谣言抑制方法

在线社交网络的兴起带来了一系列的挑战与风险,其中包括虚假以及恶意谣言的传播,这可能会误导民众,破坏社会的稳定。因此,对谣言的传播进行抑制成为当前社交网络领域的热点问题。目前已经积累较多谣言抑制的工作,但是还存在模型不能准确描述信息在社交网络上传播的问题,因此提出了一种新的刻画信息传播的模型——扩展热量模型(Extended Heat Energy Model, EHEM)。该模型充分考虑了信息传播中节点激活概率的动态调整机制、信息传播的持续级联机制以及节点状态的动态转变机制,更加精准地捕捉了信息在网络上传播的爆炸性和复杂性;其次,考虑到在真实世界相信谣言的节点在接触真相后存在将信仰转变到相信真相的可能性,提出了校正阈值来确定节点是否会发生信仰的转换;节点的重要程度决定了它们自身的影响力,因此还提出了节点多维质量来衡量节点的重要程度;最后提出了两阶段的谣言抑制(Two Stage Rumor Containment, TSRC)算法,该算法首先使用节点多维质量对网络进行剪枝处理,之后通过模拟的方式从网络中选出最优的正种子集合。在4个真实数据集上进行实验,结果表明,所提算法在多个指标上优于Random, Betweenness, MD, PR, PWD和ContrId这6种对比算法。

基于深度学习节点表示的谣言源定位方法

随着互联网的普及,网络上的信息以惊人的速度传播给公众。然而,由于级联效应,虚假信息和谣言同时也在迅速蔓延,对社会造成了巨大的危害。在社交网络上找到谣言的传播源头,对抑制谣言的传播起到至关重要的作用。传统的谣言源定位方法大多未能够融合多源特征且定位准确率还需进一步提高,因此,提出一种基于深度学习的谣言源定位方法,根据观测受谣言影响的节点多源特征来识别谣言源。首先,根据节点与观测节点之间的影响力相似度得到节点的影响力向量。然后,利用自编码网络对节点的影响力向量进行编码,得到包含节点信息、扩散路径和传播时间信息在内的节点的新的嵌入表示。最后,根据节点新的影响力向量计算节点为谣言源的概率,以定位谣言源。在2个模拟网络和4个真实网络上的实验结果表明,与其他方法相比,所提方法能够以更快的速度定位谣言源,且谣言源定位的准确率提升了25%以上。
