Fake news is the word making more talk these days be it election, COVID 19 pandemic, or any social unrest. Many social websites have started to fact check the news or articles posted on their websites. The reason being these fake news creates confusion, chaos, misleading the community and society. In this cyber era, citizen journalism is happening more where citizens do the collection, reporting, dissemination, and analyse news or information. This means anyone can publish news on the social websites and lead to unreliable information from the readers' points of view as well. In order to make every nation or country safe place to live by holding a fair and square election, to stop spreading hatred on race, religion, caste, creed, also to have reliable information about COVID 19, and finally from any social unrest, we need to keep a tab on fake news. This chapter presents a way to detect fake news using deep learning technique and natural language processing.

News is a routine in everyone's life. It helps in enhancing the knowledge on what happens around the world. Fake news is a fictional information madeup with the intension to delude and hence the knowledge acquired becomes of no use. As fake news spreads extensively it has a negative impact in the society and so fake news detection has become an emerging research area. The paper deals with a solution to fake news detection using the methods, deep learning and Natural Language Processing. The dataset is trained using deep neural network. The dataset needs to be well formatted before given to the network which is made possible using the technique of Natural Language Processing and thus predicts whether a news is fake or not.


Spreading of fake news in online social media is a major nuisance to the public and there is no state of art tool to detect whether a news is a fake or an original one in an automated manner. Hence, this paper analyses the online social media and the news feeds for detection of fake news. The work proposes solution using Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning techniques for detecting the fake news in online social media.

In this digital world, experience sharing, knowledge exploration, taught posting and other related social exploitations are common to every individual as well as social media/network such as FaceBook, Twitter, etc plays a vital role in such kinds of activities. In general, many social network based sentimental feature extraction details and logics are available as well as many researchers work on that domain for last few years. But all those research specification are narrowed in the sense of building a way for estimating the opinions and sentiments with respect to the tweets and posts the user raised on the social network or any other related web interfacing medium. Many social network schemes provides an ability to the users to push the voice tweets and voice messages, so that the voice messages may contain some harmful as well as normal and important contents. In this paper, a new methodology is designed called Intensive Deep Learning based Voice Estimation Principle (IDLVEP), in which it is used to identify the voice message content and extract the features based on the Natural Language Processing (NLP) logic. The association of such Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing provides an efficient approach to build the powerful data processing model to identify the sentimental features from the social networking medium. This hybrid logic provides support for both text based and voice based tweet sentimental feature estimations. The Natural Language Processing principles assists the proposed approach of IDLVEP to extracts the voice content from the input message and provides a raw text content, based on that the deep learning principles classify the messages with respect to the estimation of harmful or normal tweets. The tweets raised by the user are initially sub-divided into two categories such as voice tweets and text tweets. The voice tweets will be taken care by the NLP principles and the text enabled tweets will be handled by means of deep learning principles, in which the voice tweets are also extracted and taken care by the deep learning principle only. The social network has two different faces such as provides support to developments as well as the same it provides a way to access that for harmful things. So, that this approach of IDLVEP identifies the harmful contents from the user tweets and remove that in an intelligent manner by using the proposed approach classification strategies. This paper concentrates on identifying the sentimental features from the user tweets and provides the harm free social network environment to the society.

In recent years, disinformation and “fake news” have been spreading throughout the internet at rates never seen before. This has created the need for fact-checking organizations, groups that seek out claims and comment on their veracity, to spawn worldwide to stem the tide of misinformation. However, even with the many human-powered fact-checking organizations that are currently in operation, disinformation continues to run rampant throughout the Web, and the existing organizations are unable to keep up. This paper discusses in detail recent advances in computer science to use natural language processing to automate fact checking. It follows the entire process of automated fact checking using natural language processing, from detecting claims to fact checking to outputting results. In summary, automated fact checking works well in some cases, though generalized fact checking still needs improvement prior to widespread use.
