Abstract (arXiv)

Recent years have seen various rumor diffusion models being assumed in detection of rumor source research of the online social network. Diffusion model is arguably considered as a very important and challengeable factor for source detection in networks but it is less studied. This paper provides an overview of three representative schemes of Independent Cascade-based, Epidemic-based, and Learning-based to model the patterns of rumor propagation as well as three major schemes of estimators for rumor sources since its inception a decade ago.
