Fake news detection using recurrent neural network based on bidirectional LSTM and GloVe

In the world of technology, the electronic and technical development of the fields of communication and the internet has increased, which has caused a renaissance in the virtual world. This development has greatly impacted virtual communities for the ease and speed of communication and information transfer through social media platforms, making these platforms likable and easy to use. The social network faces major challenges due to its extensive use. As a result, many people have become involved in cybercrimes. There are accounts on the internet that are malicious. Platforms for social networking online, such as Facebook and Twitter, allow all users to freely generate and consume massive volumes of material regardless of their traits. While individuals and businesses utilize this information to gain a competitive edge, spam or phony users create important data. According to estimates, 1 in 200 posts on social media contain spam, and 1 in 21 tweets contain spam. The problem was centered around the accuracy of detecting false news and correcting it or preventing its dissemination before it spread in the network. A new method is given based on improving the false news detection system; the level of improvement was significant in the preprocessing stage where Glove is used, which is an unsupervised learning algorithm developed by researchers at Stanford University aiming to generate word embeddings by aggregating global word co-occurrence matrices from a given corpus. The basic idea behind the GloVe word embedding is to derive the relationship between the words from statistics. The proposed method contains deep learning algorithms of convolutional neural network (CNN), deep neural network (DNN), and long short-term memory (LSTM). The RNN with GloVe in the preprocessing stage using the Curpos fake news dataset to enhance the system, due to the sequential processes and classification, has the highest accuracy of 98.974%.
