Abstract

Digital media and social networks have increased explosively and with the increase in use of the medium the amount of information circulating on the internet is huge. It is also important to note that with the increase in the information flow, there has been a flow of information that is either false or misleading. Fake news can be used to undermine our political stability and the safety of the public and may also serve to erode the trust that is so vital in a society. The explosive information creation on the Internet as well as the rate at which new content is being created there is a need to have automated, intelligent solutions to be deployed to sort through the deluge of information, as manual fact-checking methods cannot be deployed to scale. The focus of this paper is to present a solution for identifying fake news. The paper describes a deep learning approach to detect fake news, and is based on long short-term memory networks (LSTM).
