Fake Media Detection Using Natural Language Processing and Blockchain Approaches
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Machine Learning
Abstract
The suggested method for identifying bogus news combines blockchain technology, reinforcement learning (RL), and natural language processing (NLP) approaches. A large dataset of news stories and the metadata that goes with them is first gathered, and then the text is cleaned and tokenized using NLP-based pre-processing. An RL agent is then trained using pertinent features that have been extracted, such as word frequencies and readability. A system of rewards and penalties is used to teach the agent to differentiate between news that is true and that is not. After training, the RL agent can use the features it has retrieved to determine whether new articles are true or fake. Although blockchain technology's potential importance is mentioned, more details are needed. The goal of this creative strategy is to stop the spread of inaccurate and misleading information in digital news.
