Fake News Detection Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2025, Vol 10, Issue 05
Abstract
Fake news has become a significant social problem that affects public opinion and social trust. The dissemination of misinformation at lightning speed through online media channels presents a serious problem in distinguishing between credible and deceptive content. Much research has been done on machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) approaches to create automated detection systems that address this problem. These methods classify news stories as synthetic or legitimate based on statistical, contextual, and language characteristics. Several machine learning techniques are presented in this book, including deeper, more complex models as well as more conventional classifiers like Logistic Regression (LR), Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Decision Trees. Additionally, the hybrid models that combine ensemble learning and natural language processing (NLP) are showcased for their potential to improve classification accuracy and dependability. Feature extraction techniques like word embeddings, N-grams, and Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) are credited with organizing textual data into machine learning inputs. In addition, network-based techniques and sentiment analysis are examined as substitute techniques for pattern recognition in the fight against false information. The findings provide strong evidence that combining statistics and deep learning techniques enhances the effectiveness and precision of false news detection. This study establishes the groundwork for future research to create robust and scalable systems for identifying fake news by shedding light on the capabilities and limitations of various approaches.
