From Anomaly Detection to Rumour Detection using Data Streams of Social Platforms

Summary: Multi-modal anomaly detection for rumour detection in streaming social data, combining entity and relation signals. Graph-based scan raises local anomalies to network-level rumours; incremental streaming methods demonstrated on 4M tweets with 1k+ rumours. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
