Twitter Account

Social media has become very popular and important in people’s lives, as personal ideas, beliefs and opinions are expressed and shared through them. Unfortunately, social networks, and specifically Twitter, suffer from massive existence and perpetual creation of fake users. Their goal is to deceive other users employing various methods, or even create a stream of fake news and opinions in order to influence an idea upon a specific subject, thus impairing the platform’s integrity. As such, machine learning techniques have been widely used in social networks to address this type of threat by automatically identifying fake accounts. Nonetheless, threat actors update their arsenal and launch a range of sophisticated attacks to undermine this detection procedure, either during the training or test phase, rendering machine learning algorithms vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Our work examines the propagation of adversarial attacks in machine learning based detection for fake Twitter accounts, which is based on AdaBoost. Moreover, we propose and evaluate the use of k-NN as a countermeasure to remedy the effects of the adversarial attacks that we have implemented.

False News

Social networking sites will attract millions of users around the globe. Internet media is becoming popular for news consumption because of its ease, simple access and fast spreading of data takes to consume news from social media. Fake news on social media is making an appearance that is attracting a huge attention. This kind of situation could bring a great conflict in real time. The false news impacts extremely negative on society, particularly in social, commercial, political world, also on individuals. Hence detection of fake news on social media became one of the emerging research topic and technically challenging task due to availability of tools on social media. In this paper various machine learning techniques are used to predict fake news on twitter data. The results shown by using these techniques are more accurate with better performance.

The extensive spread of fake news (low quality news with intentionally false information) has the potential for extremely negative impacts on individuals, society and particular in the political world. Therefore, fake news detection on social media has recently become an emerging research which is attracting tremendous attention. Detection of false information is technically challenging for several reasons. Use of various social media tools, content is easily generated and quickly spread, which lead to a large volume of content to analyze. Online information is very wide spread, which cover a large number of subjects, which contributes complexity to this task. The application of machine learning techniques are explored for the detection of ‘fake news’ that come from non-reputable sources which mislead real news stories. The purpose of the work is to come up with a solution that can be utilized by users to detect and filter out sites containing false and misleading information. This paper performs survey of Machine learning techniques which is mainly used for false detection and provides easier way to generate results.
