One should recollect the USA 2015 and 2016 U.S. presidential election cycle dealt with numerous scandals which were triggered by the forged news articles that blowout through the social media like Twitter and Facebook. When it was found that these articles were purposefully uploaded
for financial and political gain, it’s become evident that bogus news has to be identified and removed to prevent public from being deceived for someone’s personal gain. This study builds a supervised machine language model to detect the fake news articles published during 2015
and 2016 U.S. election cycle. The data set contains identical number of bogusand factual news. The standard set of machine learning algorithms like K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes and Passive Aggressive Classifier are trained using either the title or the content
of the article. There results show that the PAC classifier produces the highest accuracy of 94.63% over the other three classifiers using diagram term frequency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
