Fake News Detection Using Machine Learning approaches: A systematic Review

Abstract

The easy access and exponential growth of the information available on social media networks has made it intricate to distinguish between false and true information. The easy dissemination of information by way of sharing has added to exponential growth of its falsification. The credibility of social media networks is also at stake where the spreading of fake information is prevalent. Thus, it has become a research challenge to automatically check the information viz a viz its source, content and publisher for categorizing it as false or true. Machine learning has played a vital role in classification of the information although with some limitations. This paper reviews various Machine learning approaches in detection of fake and fabricated news. The limitation of such and approaches and improvisation by way of implementing deep learning is also reviewed.
