Unraveling Deception: Pioneering Machine Learning Solutions for Authenticating News in Evolving Social Media Landscapes

In today's digital age, social media's pervasive influence has led to rapid information dissemination, often accompanied by the spread of fake news. While news websites provide trustworthy sources, social media platforms remain the preferred source for many. However, verifying headlines and posts shared on these platforms is crucial to prevent the spread of false information. Human validation is impractical, necessitating the use of machine learning classifiers. The Social Media Fake News Detection project aims to develop a reliable system using natural language processing and machine learning techniques. By analyzing textual and multimedia data, including sentiment analysis and feature engineering, the project aims to empower users to differentiate between credible information and false narratives, thus mitigating the societal impact of fake news.
