摘要
The spread of COVID-19 misinformation (e.g., fake news) on social media poses a serious public health risk. It is critical to identify COVID-19 misinformation. In this paper, we propose SmartEye: a novel machine learning based (ML-based) approach for detecting COVID-19 misinformation on Twitter for mitigating public health risk. To test the approach, we conducted experiments based on the data collected from Twitter. Experimental results show the effectiveness of SmartEye.
