description In the rumor detection based on crowd intelligence, the crowd behavior is constructed as a graph model or probability mode. The detection of rumors is achieved through the collaborative utilization of data and knowledge. Aiming at the problems of insufficient feature extraction ability and data redundancy of current rumor detection methods based on deep learning model, a social network rumor detection method based on bidirectional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) and double self-attention (DSA) mechanism is suggested. First, a combination of application program interface and third-party crawler approach is used to obtain microblogging data from publicly available fake microblogging information pages, including both rumor and non-rumor information. Second, Bi-GRU is used to capture the tendency of medium- and long-term dependence of data and is flexible enough to deal with variable length input. Finally, the DSA mechanism is introduced to help reduce the redundant information in the dataset, thereby enhancing the model’s efficacy. The results of the experiments indicate that the proposed method outperforms existing advanced methods by at least 0.114, 0.108, 0.064, and 0.085 in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-scores, respectively. Therefore, the proposed method can significantly enhance the ability of social network rumor detection.
