Abstract

Hoax news (hocus to trick) has a very big influence in disseminating information, especially in the world of social media. News has an important impact on social and political conditions, and news can move the economy of a country. For this reason, it is necessary to have an analysis to classify hoax news and not hoaxes, and have high accuracy in classifying the news. In this study, two methods were used as a comparison in achieving high accuracy, namely the Naïve Bayes method which is famous for having high accuracy in classification with little data, and the C.45 method which can minimize noise in the data. The data used are 300 articles with 10 topics which contain hoax and non-hoax news. The data is obtained from the internet through social media, such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Testing using the Naïve Bayes method has a higher accuracy than the C.45 method. The amount of data used has a major influence on the test results, if more data enters the training stage, then this study will have higher accuracy. However, the results of this test can be recommended to increase accuracy in the construction of a hoax news detection system.
