WU Junzhe is the team leader; other team members include SHENG Huayi and ZHU Yuxiang from 2019 Electrical and Electronic Engineering, ZENG Ziyue from 2017 Events Management and WANG Gengfu from 2019 Business Management. WU Junzhe introduced that this project aims at the data mining during the outbreak of COVID-19. “There are two parts of our work. On the one hand, we analysed all the relevant rumors on public, and then through classification and manual sorting, we can get several topics with morerumors. On the other hand, we proposed a ‘rumor detector’, which is realized through the combination of a knowledge retrieval anda semantic inference model.It can provide a feedback that whether it is real through inputting the view by users.This model can be applied to every social platform.”
Additionally, the team members are also very grateful to the guide and opinions from XU Lin and HE Jianjia, which made them more confident when facing the committee. WU Junzhe believes that it is a cross-major competition.“The most important thing for an undergraduate is to face the unknown knowledge with bravery and show no fear to that. Through this competition, ‘cross-border’ has become an opportunity for us to broaden our horizons and challenge ourselves, rather than an excuse to fear and retreat!”
