Title

Limiting the spread of misinformation in social networks

Summary

This paper concentrates on countering misinformation by locating essential figures to support a “positive” campaign and restricting the propagation of a “negative” one. It explores how to limit the spread of misinformation in social networks by identifying key individuals and shows that this optimization problem is complex (NP-hard), provides a solution approach, and demonstrates that the method remains effective even with incomplete data.
