Fake News Detection Using Machine Learning

Published:23 December 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

Fake news has been an issue in every generateon. As the technology evolves, the problem of detecting accurate data for the unreliable news evolves with it and its resolution becomes more significant. This paper explores various feature sets, wherein two new features are introduced to develop an automated fake news detector on news articles. Experiment obtained 96.60% on using XGBoost that has been noted to be comparable to existing works.
