Abstract: The higher-order and temporal characteristics of tweet sequences are often ignored in the field of rumor detection. In this paper, a new rumor detection method (T-BiGAT) is proposed to capture the temporal features between tweets by combining a graph attention network (GAT) and gated recurrent neural network (GRU). First, timestamps are calculated for each tweet within the same event. On the premise of the same timestamp, two different propagation subgraphs are constructed according to the response relationship between tweets. Then, GRU is used to capture intralayer dependencies between sibling nodes in the subtree; global features of each subtree are extracted using an improved GAT. Furthermore, GRU is reused to capture the temporal dependencies of individual subgraphs at different timestamps. Finally, weights are assigned to the global feature vectors of different timestamp subtrees for aggregation, and a mapping function is used to classify the aggregated vectors.
