The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Summary
Modeling the Diffusion of Evolving Rumours in Social Networks. This project aims to model the complex evolution and diffusion process of evolving rumours in social media. This project expects to develop new theories and associated techniques from operational research (adaptive genetic algorithms), mathematics (network theory), and machine learning (generative adversarial networks) to tackle the challenges in this project. This project aims to develop (1) novel models for the evolution of a rumou ....Modeling the Diffusion of Evolving Rumours in Social Networks. This project aims to model the complex evolution and diffusion process of evolving rumours in social media. This project expects to develop new theories and associated techniques from operational research (adaptive genetic algorithms), mathematics (network theory), and machine learning (generative adversarial networks) to tackle the challenges in this project. This project aims to develop (1) novel models for the evolution of a rumour, (2) novel models for the diffusion of an evolving rumour, and (3) techniques for detecting the diffusion sources of the original rumour and its mutations. This not only will constitute a major advancement in the theory and application of rumour study but also lead the decision-makers in debunking rumours.Read moreRead less
