Abstract
Conference Title: 2016 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM) Conference Start Date: 2016, Aug. 18 Conference End Date: 2016, Aug. 21 Conference Location: San Francisco, CA, USA Lately, Twitter has grown to be one of the most favored ways of disseminating information to people around the globe. However, the main challenge faced by the users is how to assess the credibility of information posted through this social network in real time. In this paper, we present a real-time content credibility assessment system named CredFinder, which is capable of measuring the trustworthiness of information through user analysis and content analysis. The proposed system is capable of providing a credibility score for each user's tweets. Hence, it provides users with the opportunity to judge the credibility of information faster. CredFinder consists of two parts: a frontend in the form of an extension to the Chrome browser that collects tweets in real time from a Twitter search or a user-timeline page and a backend that analyzes the collected tweets and assesses their credibility.
