Abstract

Fake news is an important problem of great impact in society and business. Accurate automated fake news detection can help reduce the spread of fake news, social turmoil and business damage in a timely manner. This research presents an ensemble deep learning based on ideal weighting method for detecting fake news from ISOT fake news dataset which were collected from 44,898 of the English news websites. It is divided into two types, including the 21,417 of real news and 23,481 of fake news. Firstly, text pre-processing was used to transform unstructured data into structured data. Secondly, three deep learning models (including CNN-SGD, CNN-RMSProp and CNN-Adam) were tested. Next, the values of accuracy for models were used to calculate the ideal weighting factors of each model. After that, these weights were utilized to combine the prediction models using Weight Sum Method (WSM). Finally, the proposed ensemble deep learning model was tested. The results shown that the proposed model is effective to tackle the ISOT fake news dataset, which are significantly better than other traditional approaches. The accuracy values of the proposed ensemble deep learning model, CNN-SGD, CNN-RMSProp and CNN-Adam were 98.32%, 75.36%, 98.20% and 98.04% respectively. For future work, the proposed method should be tested with more cases to enhance the reliability.
