Optimization and improvement of fake news detection using deep learning approaches for societal benefit

Fake news is a topic that has been discussed for quite some time. Prior to the internet era, it was mostly distributed through yellow journalism, with a focus on sensational news such as crime, rumours, accidents, and amusing news. To rescue the life of people from these fake news propagation, detec...
