Abstract

It improves the detection rate of fake news from Twitter, Facebook, and other social media. We are using a novel machine learning algorithm to detect fake news. We proposed a novel algorithm for classifying phony information and actual news. This study deals with logistic regression, SVM, and novel ensemble approach based on machine learning algorithms. It is divided into sample size values of 620 per group. The experiment uses a dataset of 10,000 records with binary classes (fake news, real news). The result demonstrated that the proposed novel ensemble approach obtains a better accuracy value of 95% and a loss value of 05% compared with other algorithms. Thus, the obtained results prove that the proposed algorithm is an ensemble approach that combines decision tree techniques with AdaBoost by varying parameters and can get a significantly higher accuracy value.
