Detecting Fake News About Covid-19 on Small Datasets with Machine Learning Algorithms

Nowadays the problem of fake news in social media is dramatically increasing, especially when it refers to fake news about Covid-19, as it is a recent and global problem. Because of this fact, it is important to have the ability to detect and delete such news immediately. In our research we concentr...
