Abstract

Today's culture has seen a significant rise in fake news, especially with the emergence of social media platforms where misinformation may spread swiftly. False information may have detrimental effects, such as influencing elections, encouraging hate speech, and eroding trust in reliable news sources. Identification of false news has become a hot topic in recent years, with several solutions being proposed for the problem. The paper discusses LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), and Convolu-tion Neural Network (CNN)-based deep learning-based algorithms for identifying fake news. The "ISOT Fake News dataset," "News Dataset from TI-CNN," and "Getting Real About Fake News dataset" are among the datasets that were used. Following prepro-cessing methods such as stop keyword removal, stemming, and tokenization are used, these datasets are subjected to word embedding. This processed data is used to train the LSTM model, which determines whether or not news reports are fake. Performance metrics including precision, recall, accuracy, and F1-score provide as proof of the rec-ommended model's efficacy in identifying fake news. Comparisons with other state-of-the-art models show its improved efficacy. In terms of both accuracy and F1-score, the CNN beat the standard LSTM and BiLSTM models. CNN-BiLSTM is most effective model, having superior findings as well as efficiency across the three datasets.
