Classification of Misinformation in New Articles using Natural Language Processing and a Recurrent Neural Network
This addresses misinformation detection in news articles, but it is incremental as it applies an existing method to a specific dataset.
The paper tackled the problem of classifying misinformation in news articles by using a Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network, achieving an accuracy of 0.779944 on a dataset from 2018 that included non-English and fragmented articles.
This paper seeks to address the classification of misinformation in news articles using a Long Short Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network. Articles were taken from 2018; a year that was filled with reporters writing about President Donald Trump, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the Fifa World Cup, and Russia. The model presented successfully classifies these articles with an accuracy score of 0.779944. We consider this to be successful because the model was trained on articles that included languages other than English as well as incomplete, or fragmented, articles.
