Abstract(in English) The spread of fake news has become a serious social problem. In recent years, propagation-based fake news detection methods that focus on differences in the structure of news propagation on social networking services have shown promise. Conventional methods cannot take into account the phenomenon that fake news spreads through interactions with users who have similar beliefs to their own based on confirmation bias. We propose a propagation-based detection method that can take into account the similarity of opinions among users by extracting beliefs through stance analysis of news and tweets and calculating the similarity of stance features along interactions. Considering the difficulty of microblog stance analysis, the proposed method is able to suppress the influence of stance features that hinder structure identification. Experimental results using Twitter data show that the proposed method significantly outperforms conventional methods.
