To date, many approaches have been proposed to detect fake news, which includes traditional learning methods and deep learning-based models. However, there are three existing challenges: (i) How to represent social media posts effectively, since the post content is various and highly complicated; (ii) how to propose a data-driven method to increase the flexibility of the model to deal with the samples in different contexts and news backgrounds; and (iii) how to fully utilize the additional auxiliary information (the background knowledge and multi-modal information) of posts for better representation learning. To tackle the above challenges, we propose a novel Knowledge-aware Multi-modal Adaptive Graph Convolutional Networks (KMAGCN) to capture the semantic representations by jointly modeling the textual information, knowledge concepts, and visual information into a unified framework for fake news detection. We model posts as graphs and use a knowledge-aware multi-modal adaptive graph learning principal for the effective feature learning. Compared with existing methods, the proposed KMAGCN addresses challenges from three aspects: (1) It models posts as graphs to capture the non-consecutive and long-range semantic relations; (2) it proposes a novel adaptive graph convolutional network to handle the variability of graph data; and (3) it leverages textual information, knowledge concepts and visual information jointly for model learning. We have conducted extensive experiments on three public real-world datasets and superior results demonstrate the effectiveness of KMAGCN compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3451215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,22]],"date-time":"2021-07-22T14:44:29Z","timestamp":1626965069000},"page":"1-23","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["Knowledge-aware Multi-modal Adaptive Graph Convolutional Networks for Fake News Detection"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Shengsheng","family":"Qian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Lab of Pattern Recognition, Institute of Automation, CAS, China, and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Lab of Pattern Recognition, Institute of Automation, CAS, China, and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China"}]},{"given":"Quan","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Lab of Pattern Recognition, Institute of Automation, CAS, China, and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China"}]},{"given":"Changsheng","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Lab of Pattern Recognition, Institute of Automation, CAS, China,School of Artificial Intelligence, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, and Peng ChengLaboratory, China"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1257\/jep.31.2.211"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18653\/v1\/D17-1209"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1963405.1963500"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/3269206.3271809"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","unstructured":"Kyunghyun Cho Bart van Merrienboer \u00c7aglar G\u00fcl\u00e7ehre Dzmitry Bahdanau Fethi Bougares Holger Schwenk Yoshua Bengio. 2014.
