Chinese COVID-19 Fake News Dataset
26 de Abril de 2024
COVID-19 has impacted all lives. To maintain social distancing and
avoiding exposure, works and lives have gradually moved online. Under this
trend, social media usage to obtain COVID-19 news has increased. Also, misinformation on COVID-19 is frequently spread on social media. In this work,
we develop CHECKED, the first Chinese dataset on COVID-19 misinformation.
CHECKED provides a total 2,104 verified microblogs related to COVID-19 from
December 2019 to August 2020, identified by using a specific list of keywords.
Correspondingly, CHECKED includes 1,868,175 reposts, 1,185,702 comments,
and 56,852,736 likes that reveal how these verified microblogs are spread and
reacted on Weibo. The dataset contains a rich set of multimedia information
for each microblog including ground-truth label, textual, visual, temporal, and
network information. Extensive experiments have been conducted to analyze
CHECKED data and to provide benchmark results for well-established methods when predicting fake news using CHECKED. We hope that CHECKED can
facilitate studies that target misinformation on coronavirus. The dataset is
available at https://github.com/cyang03/CHECKED.
