In recent years, the consumption of social media content to keep up with global news and to verify its authenticity has become a considerable challenge. Social media enables us to easily access news anywhere, anytime, but it also gives rise to the spread of fake news, thereby delivering false information. This also has a negative impact on society. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether or not news spreading over social media is real. This will allow for confusion among social media users to be avoided, and it is important in ensuring positive social development. This paper proposes a novel solution by detecting the authenticity of news through natural language processing techniques. Specifically, this paper proposes a novel scheme comprising three steps, namely, stance detection, author credibility verification, and machine learning-based classification, to verify the authenticity of news. In the last stage of the proposed pipeline, several machine learning techniques are applied, such as decision trees, random forest, logistic regression, and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms. For this study, the fake news dataset was taken from Kaggle. The experimental results show an accuracy of 93.15%, precision of 92.65%, recall of 95.71%, and F1-score of 94.15% for the support vector machine algorithm. The SVM is better than the second best classifier, i.e., logistic regression, by 6.82%.

Machine Learning Approach

Social media has been embraced by different people as a convenient and official medium of communication. People write messages and attach images and videos on Twitter, Facebook and other social media which they share. Social media therefore generates a lot of data that is rich in sentiments from these updates. Sentiment analysis has been used to determine opinions of clients, for instance, relating to a particular product or company. Knowledge based approach and Machine learning approach are among the strategies that have been used to analyze these sentiments. The performance of sentiment analysis is however distorted by noise, the curse of dimensionality, the data domains and size of data used for training and testing. This research aims at developing a model for sentiment analysis in which dimensionality reduction and the use of different parts of speech improves sentiment analysis performance. It uses natural language processing for filtering, storing and performing sentiment analysis on the data from social media. The model is tested using Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines and K-Nearest neighbor machine learning algorithms and its performance compared with that of two other Sentiment Analysis models. Experimental results show that the model improves sentiment analysis performance using machine learning techniques.

Fake news always has been a problem. We, too, might have fallen for a false rumor at least once in our lifetime. Moreover, the fight against fake news over social networking media is intricate. Misinformation related to home remedies for COVID 19 that have not been verified, fake news for lockdown extension or release, casualties and damage in any riots, fake consultancies, and conspiracy were prevalent during the lockdown. Many Researchers have implemented several algorithms for the detection of Fake News. In this paper, we have used several past published research papers along with our research to compare the performances of three algorithms, i.e., Naive Bayes classifier, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Machine. This provides an idea of the most practical and efficient algorithm, Support Vector Machine, that can be used for fake news detection.

Abstract Alzheimer's is the main reason for dementia, that affects frequently older adults. This disease is costly especially, in terms of treatment. In addition, Alzheimer's is one of the deaths causes in the old-age citizens. Early Alzheimer's detection helps medical staffs in this disease diagnosis, which will certainly decrease the risk of death. This made the early Alzheimer's disease detection a crucial problem in the healthcare industry. The objective of this research study is to introduce a computer-aided diagnosis system for Alzheimer's disease detection using machine learning techniques. We employed data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) brain datasets. Common supervised machine learning techniques have been applied for automatic Alzheimer’s disease detection such as: logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, linear discriminant analysis, etc. The best accuracy values provided by the machine learning classifiers are 99.43% and 99.10% given by respectively, logistic regression and support vector machine using ADNI dataset, whereas for the OASIS dataset, we obtained 84.33% and 83.92% given by respectively logistic regression and random forest.

Speech Recognition is an interdisciplinary technique used to convert spoken language into text. It is a sub domain of computational linguistics and can be implemented using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Algorithms. Opinion Mining or Sentiment Analysis is a process which enables identifying opinions expressed by an author in a piece of text computationally. This opinion refers to the polarity of the expressed opinion, i.e. positive or negative. Through this research work, we aim to combine these two natural language processing techniques and devise a system that can take speech as the input and determine the sentiment behind the speakers’ words. The subject of the speech input may vary but the end goal is to recognize whether the attitude of the speaker towards the subject was positive or negative. The input will be converted to text and this text will then be classified using several different machine learning techniques. These include Naïve Bayes’ Classifier, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression and Decision Trees. After classification, the results for the three classifiers will be predicted and compared. Future scope of the project includes creating an ensemble of these classifiers to get better accuracy and precision of determining the sentiment of the speaker

The purpose of the study is to (a) contribute to annotating an Altmetrics dataset across five disciplines, (b) undertake sentiment analysis using various machine learning and natural language processing–based algorithms, (c) identify the best-performing model and (d) provide a Python library for sentiment analysis of an Altmetrics dataset. First, the researchers gave a set of guidelines to two human annotators familiar with the task of related tweet annotation of scientific literature. They duly labelled the sentiments, achieving an inter-annotator agreement (IAA) of 0.80 (Cohen’s Kappa). Then, the same experiments were run on two versions of the dataset: one with tweets in English and the other with tweets in 23 languages, including English. Using 6388 tweets about 300 papers indexed in Web of Science, the effectiveness of employed machine learning and natural language processing models was measured by comparing with well-known sentiment analysis models, that is, SentiStrength and Sentiment140, as the baseline. It was proved that Support Vector Machine with uni-gram outperformed all the other classifiers and baseline methods employed, with an accuracy of over 85%, followed by Logistic Regression at 83% accuracy and Naïve Bayes at 80%. The precision, recall and F1 scores for Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression and Naïve Bayes were (0.89, 0.86, 0.86), (0.86, 0.83, 0.80) and (0.85, 0.81, 0.76), respectively.

Social media plays a major role in several things in our life. Social media helps all of us to find some important news with low price. It also provides easy access in less time. But sometimes social media gives a chance for the fast-spreading of fake news. So there is a possibility that less quality news with false information is spread through the social media. This shows a negative impact on the number of people. Sometimes it may impact society also. So, detection of fake news has vast importance. Machine learning algorithms play a vital role in fake news detection; Especially NLP (Natural Language Processing) algorithms are very useful for detecting the fake news. In this paper, we employed machine learning classifiers SVM, K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision tree, Random forest. By using these classifiers we successfully build a model to detect fake news from the given dataset. Python language was used for experiments.

Fake or false information on social media platforms is a significant challenge that leads to deliberately misleading users due to the inclusion of rumors, propaganda, or deceptive information about a person, organization, or service. Twitter is one of the most widely used social media platforms, especially in the Arab region, where the number of users is steadily increasing, accompanied by an increase in the rate of fake news. This drew the attention of researchers to provide a safe online environment free of misleading information. This paper aims to propose a smart classification model for the early detection of fake news in Arabic tweets utilizing Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, Machine Learning (ML) models, and Harris Hawks Optimizer (HHO) as a wrapper-based feature selection approach. Arabic Twitter corpus composed of 1862 previously annotated tweets was utilized by this research to assess the efficiency of the proposed model. The Bag of Words (BoW) model is utilized using different term-weighting schemes for feature extraction. Eight well-known learning algorithms are investigated with varying combinations of features, including user-profile, content-based, and words-features. Reported results showed that the Logistic Regression (LR) with Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) model scores the best rank. Moreover, feature selection based on the binary HHO algorithm plays a vital role in reducing dimensionality, thereby enhancing the learning model’s performance for fake news detection. Interestingly, the proposed BHHO-LR model can yield a better enhancement of 5% compared with previous works on the same dataset.

Abstract In this article, an innovative approach to perform the sentiment analysis (SA) has been presented. The proposed system handles the issues of Romanized or abbreviated text and spelling variations in the text to perform the sentiment analysis. The training data set of 3,000 movie reviews and tweets has been manually labeled by native speakers of Hindi in three classes, i.e. positive, negative, and neutral. The system uses WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) tool to convert these string data into numerical matrices and applies three machine learning techniques, i.e. Naive Bayes (NB), J48, and support vector machine (SVM). The proposed system has been tested on 100 movie reviews and tweets, and it has been observed that SVM has performed best in comparison to other classifiers, and it has an accuracy of 68% for movie reviews and 82% in case of tweets. The results of the proposed system are very promising and can be used in emerging applications like SA of product reviews and social media analysis. Additionally, the proposed system can be used in other cultural/social benefits like predicting/fighting human riots.
