Classification of
Fake News using
Support Vector
Machine
Introduction
❖ Fake news is false information that is written and published
by irresponsible person.

❖ Users are unaware that the information that they received is

a false information.

❖ Using Machine Learning that can classify whether the news is

true or false by training the model.

3
 Problem Statement
• From the previous research, there is only offline
tools to classify the news.

• The accuracy of the tools to trace the fake news

is only based on the words in the articles.

• The previous research uses binary classification

problem to formulate the fake news detection.
 Objectives
⬡ To study on how Machine Learning can classify the
data collected into two categories.

⬡ To develop a Support Vector Machine classification

model based on collected data from social media.

⬡ To evaluate the accuracy of developed model.

5
Scope
❖ Social Media
❖ Training SVM algorithm
❖ Data recognition
❖ Classification of data

6
Limitations
⬡ Collecting data from
social media.
⬡ Classifying text from
single post.

7
Expected Results
⬡ Prevent users from believing any fake news in
the social media.

⬡ Make it easier for the legal authorities.

Literature Review
Author Tittle Description

Aldwairi, Detecting fake news This paper focused on social media web
Monther, and Ali in social media sites that more likely to have fake news or
Alwahedi networks clickbaits ads or articles. They gathered
URLs in a file then computed the attributes
from the tittle and the content of the web
pages in python script and extracted the
features form web pages.

Tschiatschek, Fake news detection This research learn about users and
Sebastian, et al in social networks via exploiting users’ flag. When the approach
crowd signals did not learn about users’ flagging
behaviour it tend to be a failure of
adversarial. The algorithm DETECTIVE
performs Bayesian inference for detecting
fake news and jointly learns about users’
over time.

Aphiwongsophon Detecting Fake Fake news can be accurately identified using

, Supanya, and News with machine learning method. In this research,
Prabhas Machine selected data being tested by using machine
Chongstitvatana Learning Method learning method such as Naïve Bayes and Neural
Network. The accuracy of this method is 96.08%

Shu, Kai, et al Fake news Explored fake news problem in two phases,
detection on characterization and detection. Characterization
social media: A phase introduced the basic concepts ad
data mining principles of fake news. For detection phase,
perspective existing fake news detection approaches
reviewed from data mining perspective
