Abstract

Abstract Along with the development of the Internet, the emergence and widespread adoption of the social media concept have changed the way news is formed and published. News has become faster, less costly and easily accessible with social media. This change has come along with some disadvantages as well. In particular, beguiling content, such as fake news made by social media users, is becoming increasingly dangerous. The fake news problem, despite being introduced for the first time very recently, has become an important research topic due to the high content of social media. Writing fake comments and news on social media is easy for users. The main challenge is to determine the difference between real and fake news. In this paper, a two-step method for identifying fake news on social media has been proposed, focusing on fake news. In the first step of the method, a number of pre-processing is applied to the data set to convert un-structured data sets into the structured data set. The texts in the data set containing the news are represented by vectors using the obtained TF weighting method and Document-Term Matrix. In the second step, twenty-three supervised artificial intelligence algorithms have been implemented in the data set transformed into the structured format with the text mining methods. In this work, an experimental evaluation of the twenty-three intelligent classification methods has been performed within existing public data sets and these classification models have been compared depending on four evaluation metrics.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
