Challenge: Existing detection models for rumors detection are poor interpretability and lack the textual content to detect rumors.
Approach: They propose a framework that analyzes the textual content and propagation paths of rumors on social media and provides multi-perspective prediction explanations.
Outcome: The proposed framework defends against malicious attacks and provides prediction explanations on three public datasets.
