  1. Evaluating Event Credibility on Twitter Presented by YananXie College of Computer Science, Zhejiang University 2012

  2. Motivation Since its launch in 2006, Twitter has gained huge popularity. 4% of the massive number of tweets constitute news. Recent surveys show that just ~8% people trust Twitter, while just ~12% trust their friends’ Twitter streams. A lot of rumors have been spread using Twitter in the recent past and have resulted into a lot of damage

  3. Problem Definition Example: A bull jumped into the crowds in a Spanish arena injuring 30 people.

  9. Classification-Based Approach Lacks: With high probability, credible users provide credible tweets; Average credibility of tweets is higher for credible events than that for non- credible events; and Events sharing many common words and topics should have similar credibility scores.
