Summary
- What is new: Introduces an LLM-empowered approach for rumor detection on social media that leverages prompts and a Chain-of-Propagation strategy to improve detection performance.
- Why this is important: Difficulties in enabling LLMs to sift through complex social media propagation information for rumor detection, due to the overwhelming amount of news contents and comments.
- What the research proposes: LeRuD, an approach that utilizes designed prompts to guide LLMs in focusing on crucial clues and divides the information into a manageable Chain-of-Propagation.
- Results: Achieved improved performance over existing state-of-the-art models by 2.4% to 7.6% on the Twitter and Weibo datasets, showcasing enhanced rumor detection in few-shot or zero-shot scenarios without needing any data for training.
