Modality Deep-learning Frameworks for Fake News Detection on Social Networks: A Systematic Literature Review

Published: 22 November 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Fake news on social networks is a challenging problem due to the rapid dissemination and volume of information, as well as the ease of creating and sharing content anonymously. Fake news stories are problematic not only for the credibility of online journalism, but also due to their detrimental real-world consequences. The primary research objective of this study is to identify recent state-of-the-art deep learning methods used to detect fake news in social networks. This article presents a systematic literature review of deep learning-based fake news detection models in social networks. The methodology followed a rigorous approach, including predefined criteria for study selection of deep learning modalities. This study focuses on the types of deep learning modalities: unimodal (refers to the use of a single model for analysis or modeling purposes) and multimodal models (refers to the integration of multiple models). The results of this review reveal the strengths and weaknesses of modalities approaches, as well as the limitations of low-resource languages datasets. Furthermore, it provides insights into future directions for deep learning models and different fact-checking techniques. At the end of this study, we discuss the problem of fake news detection in the era of large language models in terms of advantages, drawbacks, and challenges.
