Challenge: Existing methods to detect fake news on social media are based on textual features and advanced linguistic features.
Approach: They propose a neural network-based model to detect fake news on social media . they use a short-text tweet and a sequence of retweets without text comments to predict whether the source tweet is fake or not.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods by 16% on real tweet datasets and produces reasonable explanations.
