This is the code for the www'22 Paper: Evidence-aware Fake News Detection with Graph Neural Networks.

Usage

We utilize two widely used datasets.

You can run the commands below to train and test our model on Snopes Dataset.

python MasterFC/master_get.py --dataset="Snopes" \
                             --cuda=1 \
                             --fixed_length_left=30 \
                             --fixed_length_right=100 \
                             --log="logs/get" \
                             --loss_type="cross_entropy" \
                             --batch_size=32 \
                             --num_folds=5 \
                             --use_claim_source=0 \
                             --use_article_source=1 \
                             --path="formatted_data/declare/" \
                             --hidden_size=300 \
                             --epochs=100 \
                             --num_att_heads_for_words=5 \
                             --num_att_heads_for_evds=2 \
                             --gnn_window_size=3 \
                             --lr=0.0001 \
                             --gnn_dropout=0.2 \
                             --seed=123756 \
                             --gsl_rate=0.6

You can also simply run the bash script.

sh run_snopes.sh

sh run_politifact.sh (on the PolitiFact dataset)

Requirements

We use Pytorch 1.9.1 and python 3.6. Other requirements are in requirements.txt.

pip install -r requirements.txt
