Challenge: Recent studies on fake news detection have focused on textual news material, but there is a lack of authoritative regulators.
Approach: They propose a framework to explore latent correlations between propagation trees and a root-induced training strategy to encourage representations of propagation tree to be closer to their prototypical root nodes.
Outcome: The proposed framework explores latent correlations between propagation trees to improve fake news detection.
