Abstract

The spread of untrue information has become a serious issue in the current social media world. It is the propagation of dishonest intentions to mislead people. Though, there are many forms of untrue information types. For users to find information or news in real-time, Twitter is one of the major social media web pages. This paper uses the Higgs boson dataset, which presents the anatomy of the spread of scientific rumors through the follow-up and analysis of the related Twitter user behavior before and after its announcement. Models describe the early detection of untrue information with the desired accuracy. The paper analyses the behavior patterns of people who tweeted over the timeframe with Machine Learning (ML) algorithms about this discovery. The highest achievable accuracy of untrue information with logistic regression (LR) and random forest (RF) was 93% for 1 day in the retweet network.
