The proliferation of fake news has become a significant challenge in recent years, impacting democracy, the journalism industry, and people's daily lives. The spread of intentionally misleading or fabricated information has led to a decline in confidence in government institutions and has profound implications for people's daily lives. This study aims to detect false information and real news using logistic regression algorithms and natural language processing techniques, implement the model using Python, and develop a website for news classification. The "Fake News Detection" dataset from Kaggle, consisting of approximately 20,000 news articles labelled as real or fake, was used. Data cleaning was done and feature extraction techniques, including Term Frequency – Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) vectorization, was applied to extract features from the data. The logistic regression model with K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Passive Aggressive classifier and Naïve Bayes model were trained on the extracted features and evaluated using various metrics. The system was implemented using Python and Google Collaboratory, with the front-end of the website developed using Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and JavaScript. The architecture of the system involves training the model and deploying it using Flask, a lightweight web framework. Evaluation of the classifiers show the following results: Accuracy - 97.90%, 82.92%, 91.32%, 89.71%; Precision - 96.59%, 80.25%, 94.13%, 93.88%; Recall - 99.32%, 94.08%, 90.88%, 89.14%; and F1 score - 97.94%, 86.62, 92.48, 91.45% for logistic regression, KNN, Passive Aggressive and Naïve Bayes classifier respectively. Based on these results, logistic regression outperformed the other three classifiers. This shows that logistic regression model is more effective in fake news detection. The developed system provides a valuable tool in combating fake news and contributes to the on-going research in automatic fake news detection using machine learning.

“…The mathematical formula y = mx + c is used in linear regression analysis to determine the line of greatest fitting for the correlation between the dependent variable (y) and the independent variable (x) [38]. Gradient Boosting algorithms can optimize different functions, which makes them flexible, and they often provide predictive accuracy [39]. After training and testing the data with the Gradient Boosting model using many cost functions, as shown in Table 7, we got MSE 0.7686.…”

<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW634036 BCX2" style="direction: ltr;"><p>The Moroccan Ministry of National Education has seen substantial modifications over the previous ten years, which have contributed to improving the quality of education. However, there is a discrepancy in the percentage of academic achievement between the regional directorates and educational institutions. Machine learning techniques have become a powerful tool for proactively predicting student admission. The goal of our paper is to build machine learning models using various algorithms to predict the final baccalaureate school year outcomes. We compare regression and classification to find the reasons behind students' failure and to choose an appropriate model for predicting the results. This helps decision-makers make appropriate interventions.</p></div>

“…The dynamic system's accuracy is 93%, and it gets better with each repetition. Prasad, Suyash, Rhucha, Prashant and Sumitra in [10] paper, offer a solution by outlining a machine learning-based fake news detection technique. Prerequisite information acquired from different news websites is needed for this model.…”

A lot of people use tweeter to provide their opinions on various topics including sports, politics, finance, etc. Now the information that generally is present on Twitter does not have any means to check whether the data being twitter is correct or not. So in order to check the authenticity of the data,the data must be classified into true and false. Firstly, the dataset would be created using python by devising the code for the same. The code thus designed would be able to extract the tweets with the amount specified by the user. Hence the CSV would be created. After the creation of the CSV, data pre-processing would be applied to the data such that all the unnecessary data such as emojis, words, and information would be removed automatically, and thus we would receive the tweet without any kind of stop-words. This cleaned data would further be tested and trained with the help of machine learning algorithms. These Machine learning algorithms would generally be used to classify the data according to the domain and provide the user with an authenticated answer whether the tweet is true or not along with its accuracy. This helpsthe userto identify the tweet and thus provide an authenticated answer on which informationto believe and to which we should not
