Multimodal Dual Emotion with Fusion of Visual Sentiment for Rumor Detection
Abstract
In recent years, rumors have had a devastating impact on society, making rumor detection a significant challenge. However, the studies on rumor detection ignore the intense emotions of images in the rumor content. This paper verifies that the image emotion improves the rumor detection efficiency. A Multimodal Dual Emotion feature in rumor detection, which consists of visual and textual emotions, is proposed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study which uses visual emotion in rumor detection. The experiments on real datasets verify that the proposed features outperform the state-of-the-art sentiment features, and can be extended in rumor detectors while improving their performance.
