摘要
Twitter is a crucial platform to get access to breaking news and timely information. However, due to questionable provenance, uncontrollable broadcasting, and unstructured languages in tweets, Twitter is hardly a trustworthy source of breaking news. In this paper, we propose a novel topic-focused trust model to assess trustworthiness of users and tweets in Twitter. Unlike traditional graph-based trust ranking approaches in the literature, our method is scalable and can consider heterogeneous contextual properties to rate topic focused tweets and users. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our topic-focused trustworthiness estimation method with extensive experiments using real Twitter data in Latin America. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
