ABSTRACT
During the pandemic of COVID-19, the propagation of fake news is spreading like wildfire on social media. Such fake news articles have created confusion among people and serious social disruptions as well. To detect such news articles effectively, we propose a generalized classification model (MCNNet) having the power of learning across different kernel-sized convolutional layers in different parallel channel network. The capability of MCNNet is lucrative towards any real-world fake news dataset. Experimental results have demonstrated the performance of our model with different real-world fake news datasets.

DG.O'21: DG.O2021: The 22nd Annual International Conference on Digital Government ResearchFake news is false information about current events, intentionally created to mislead readers. The spread of such fake news has the potential to create a negative impact on individuals and society. With today’s straightforward creation of social media ...
Fake News Detection on Social Media: A Data Mining Perspective
Social media for news consumption is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, its low cost, easy access, and rapid dissemination of information lead people to seek out and consume news from social media. On the other hand, it enables the wide spread of \...
