Abstract

This research aims to increase people's awareness of fake news on online social networks and help them determine the reliability of information they consume. It investigates methods for detecting fake news sources, authors, and subjects on online social networks. The project uses an open-source online dataset of fake and real news to determine the credibility of news. Various text feature extraction techniques and classification algorithms are reviewed, with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) linear classification algorithm using TF-IDF feature extraction achieving the highest accuracy of 99.36%. Random Forest (RF) and Naive Bayes (NB) had accuracy scores of 98.25% and 94.74%, respectively.
