Funded Activity 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 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.
