Abstract

Social networks have become the core platform for information exchange in the new era, and their uniqueness is reflected in the extensive interconnections brought about by complex ties and technological progress. These characteristics jointly shape social networks and have a profound impact on the development of the new era. With the popularity of the Internet, the problem of online rumors has become increasingly prominent, bringing many negative effects on society. Due to the fast speed of information dissemination, extensive user participation, difficulty in verification, and significant group effects, online rumors can quickly spread in social networks and have an impact. Therefore, strengthening the supervision of network information is crucial to maintaining justice and order in cyberspace. The four leading rumor detection techniques are currently covered in this article, along with an introduction to the fundamentals of rumor detection. Prospects seem to offer fresh approaches to rumor detection in light of the potential difficulties facing societal development. Analyze the experimental data of different detection methods and explore the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. It is hoped that through in-depth research, information dissemination can be guaranteed, contributing to creating a safe and harmonious cyberspace.
