ABSTRACT
While a lot of useful information can be found in SNS, false information also diffuses through it, thereby confusing many people sometimes. In this paper, we predict a tendency of tweets to be well retweeted and consider applying the tendency to false information detection. The tendency prediction can be implemented with simple features of tweets. We examine the effect of the tendency when it is used in false information detection empirically. Our experimental results indicate that it would be valuable to take the tendency into account for the detection. We also discuss findings when applying them to tweets in Japanese.
