Abstract
Information content that is inaccurate, misleading, or whose source cannot be verified is fake news. This content could be created to purposely harm people’s reputations, deceive them, or draw attention to themselves. Since December 2019, the epidemic of coronavirus disease has sparked considerable alarm and has had a significant impact on people’s lives. Also, misinformation on COVID-19 is frequently spread on social media. This project aims to use Machine learning algorithms to recognize fraudulent news. For this, we use seven essential algorithms, namely Logistic regression, Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Neural Network (NN), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Decision tree, and Random forest. We compared the results of all the algorithms stated above and found that neural networks and random forest achieved the highest accuracy of 83%.
