COVID-19 related fake news detection model
Abstract
In this era of developed information and technology, any sort of information runs
faster than air. The reliability of the information can be tricky at times. Some
news publishing sources can publish news that are actually misguiding. The drastic
evolution of electronic media over the past couple of decades has fueled the spread
of fake news causing confusion and misunderstanding among the mass regarding
any topic. The main motive behind producing these fake news is to create an
agenda or to spread trepidation among people. People tend to become more panicked
during any kind of disaster or pandemic, this it is easier to make them believe these
misinformation in these times. Likewise, COVID-19 pandemic is not out of the
grasp of misinformation spreading. To tackle this, we have proposed a Fake News
Prediction model that will be used to detect fake news regarding COVID-19 that
are being circulated in different electronic media.
