A robust technique of fake news detection using Ensemble Voting Classifier and comparison with other classifiers

Abstract

These days online networking is generally utilized as the wellspring of data as a result of its ease, simple to get to nature. In any case, expending news from online life is a twofold edged sword as a result of the widespread of fake news, i.e., news with purposefully false data. Fake news is a major issue since it affects people just as society substantial. In the internet based life, the data is spread quick and subsequently discovery component ought to almost certainly foresee news quick enough to stop the dispersal of fake news. Consequently, identifying fake news via web-based networking media is a critical and furthermore an in fact testing issue. In this paper, Ensemble Voting Classifier based, an intelligent detection system is proposed to deal with news classification both real and fake tasks. Here, eleven mostly well-known machine-learning algorithms like Naive Bayes, K-NN, SVM, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Network, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, Ada Boosting, etc. are used for detection. After cross-validation, we used the best three machine-learning algorithms in Ensemble Voting Classifier. The experimental outcomes affirm that the proposed framework can accomplish to about 94.5% outcomes as far as accuracy. The other parameters like ROC score, precision, recall and F1 are also outstanding. The proposed recognition framework can effectively find the most important highlights of the news. These can also be implemented in other classification techniques to detect fake profiles, fake message, etc.
