Abstract
Fake News has an immense impact in our modern society. As a side effect of increasingly popular social media, fake news has emerged as a serious problem afflicting children, teenager and young adults. The main objective is to detect the fake news, which is a classic text classification problem with a straight forward proposition comes up with the applications of NLP (Natural Language Processing) techniques for detecting the `fake news` in social media. By building a model based on a count vectorizer (using word tallies) or a (Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency) TFIDF matrix, (word tallies relative to how often they’re used in other articles in dataset) can get a solution for this. The result show that Naïve Bayes to detect the Fake News has accuracy approximately 96% , Support Vector Machine achieve the accuracy of 98% and Random Forest achieve the accuracy of 97%.
