Challenge: Existing research on rumor detection challenges the expressive power of text encoding sequences, and insufficient mining of semantic structural information.
Approach: They propose a Crowd Intelligence-based semantic feature learning module to capture textual content’s sequential and hierarchical features and a knowledge-based structural mining module that leverages ChatGPT for knowledge enhancement.
Outcome: The proposed system achieves performance improvement in rumor detection tasks validating the effectiveness and rationality of using large language models as auxiliary tools.
