Abstract

Automatic fake news detection has attracted great concern in recent years due to it’s tremendous negative impacts on public. Since fake news is usually written to mislead readers, lexical features based methods have great limitations. Previous work has proven the effectiveness of contextual information for fake news detection. However, they ignore the influence of sequence order when extract features from contextual information. Inspired by transformer technique, we propose Contextual Features with Multi-head Self-attention model(CMS) to extract features from contextual information for fake news detection. CMS can automatic capture the dependencies between contextual information and learning a global representation from contextual information for fake news detection. Experimental results on the real-world data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
