Challenge: Existing domain adaptation rumor detection methods ignore the data generalization differences and rely on a large amount of unlabeled target domain samples to achieve domain adaptation.
Approach: They propose a Gradient Coherence guided Meta-Learning approach for emerging topics rumor detection that selectively learns more "generalizable" tasks that are more beneficial in adapting to the target domain.
Outcome: The proposed method outperforms baselines on real-world datasets and significantly outperformed traditional methods on the in-domain condition.
