Abstract

Although “fake news” is a major issue today, it is not insurmountable. Multiple factors, including the proliferation of social media, may contribute to the rapid growth of disinformation campaigns. There is no way to prevent ‘Fabrications’ or ‘Fraudulent Stories’, however many different machine learning algorithms have been developed to determine if a story is true or not. Several researchers have tackled this problem using machine learning techniques like SVM classifier and KNNs. I plan on using the Decision Tree Classifier, Logistic Regression, and RNN-LSTM with GloVe and NLTK to sort out the real stories from the fake ones.
