Fake news isexpanded and reproduced rapidly regardless of their authenticity by the characteristics of modern society, called the information age. Assuming that 1% of all news are fake news, the amount of economic costs is reported to about 30 trillion Korean won. This shows that the fake news isvery important social and economic issue. Therefore, this study aims to develop an automated detection model to quickly and accurately verify the authenticity of the news. To this end, this study crawled the news data whose authenticity is verified, and developed fake news prediction models using word embedding (Word2Vec, Fasttext) and deep learning algorithms (LSTM, BiLSTM). Experimental results show that the prediction model using BiLSTM with Word2Vec achieved the best accuracy of 84%.

Social media play a significant role in communicating information across the globe, connecting with loved ones, getting the news, communicating ideas, etc. However, a group of people uses social media to spread fake information, which has a bad impact on society. Therefore, minimizing fake news and its detection are the two primary challenges that need to be addressed. This paper presents a multi-modal deep learning technique to address the above challenges. The proposed modal can use and process visual and textual features. Therefore, it has the ability to detect fake information from visual and textual data. We used EfficientNetB0 and a sentence transformer, respectively, for detecting counterfeit images and for textural learning. Feature embedding is performed at individual channels, whilst fusion is done at the last classification layer. The late fusion is applied intentionally to mitigate the noisy data that are generated by multi-modalities. Extensive experiments are conducted, and performance is evaluated against state-of-the-art methods. Three real-world benchmark datasets, such as MediaEval (Twitter), Weibo, and Fakeddit, are used for experimentation. Result reveals that the proposed modal outperformed the state-of-the-art methods and achieved an accuracy of 86.48%, 82.50%, and 88.80%, respectively, for MediaEval (Twitter), Weibo, and Fakeddit datasets.

The clear and specific objective of this study is to design a false news discriminator algorithm for news articles transmitted on a text-based basis and an architecture that builds it into a system (H/W configuration with Hadoop-based in-memory technology, Deep Learning S/W design for bigdata and SNS linkage). Based on learning data on actual news, the government will submit advanced "fake news" test data as a result and complete theoretical research based on it. The need for research proposed by this study is social cost paid by rumors (including malicious comments) and rumors (written false news) due to the flood of fake news, false reports, rumors and stabbings, among other social challenges. In addition, fake news can distort normal communication channels, undermine human mutual trust, and reduce social capital at the same time. The final purpose of the study is to upgrade the study to a topic that is difficult to distinguish between false and exaggerated, fake and hypocrisy, sincere and false, fraud and error, truth and false.

Fake news is a form of misinformation that has the advantage of rapid spreading of information on media platforms that users interact with, such as social media. There has been a lot of social problems due to the recent increase in fake news. In this paper, we propose a method to detect such false news. Previous research on fake news detection mainly focused on text analysis. This research focuses on a network where social media news spreads, generates qualities with DeepWalk, a network embedding method, and classifies fake news using logistic regression analysis. We conducted an experiment on fake news detection using 211 news on the Internet and 1.2 million news diffusion network data. The results show that the accuracy of false network detection using network embedding is 10.6% higher than that of text analysis. In addition, fake news detection, which combines text analysis and network embedding, does not show an increase in accuracy over network embedding. The results of this study can be effectively applied to the detection of fake news that organizations spread online.

Recently, fake news disguises the form of news content and appears whenever important events occur, causing social confusion. Accordingly, artificial intelligence technology is used as a research to detect fake news. Fake news detection approaches such as automatically recognizing and blocking fake news through natural language processing or detecting social media influencer accounts that spread false information by combining with network causal inference could be implemented through deep learning. However, fake news detection is classified as a difficult problem to solve among many natural language processing fields. Due to the variety of forms and expressions of fake news, the difficulty of feature extraction is high, and there are various limitations, such as that one feature may have different meanings depending on the category to which the news belongs. In this paper, emotional change patterns are presented as an additional identification criterion for detecting fake news. We propose a model with improved performance by applying a convolutional neural network to a fake news data set to perform analysis based on content characteristics and additionally analyze emotional change patterns. Sentimental polarity is calculated for the sentences constituting the news and the result value dependent on the sentence order can be obtained by applying long-term and short-term memory. This is defined as a pattern of emotional change and combined with the content characteristics of news to be used as an independent variable in the proposed model for fake news detection. We train the proposed model and comparison model by deep learning and conduct an experiment using a fake news data set to confirm that emotion change patterns can improve fake news detection performance.

With the recent development of hardware performance and artificial intelligence technology, sophisticated fake videos that are difficult to distinguish with the human's eye are increasing. Face synthesis technology using artificial intelligence is called Deepfake, and anyone with a little programming skill and deep learning knowledge can produce sophisticated fake videos using Deepfake. A number of indiscriminate fake videos has been increased significantly, which may lead to problems such as privacy violations, fake news and fraud. Therefore, it is necessary to detect fake video clips that cannot be discriminated by a human eyes. Thus, in this paper, we propose a deep-fake detection model applied with Bidirectional Convolution LSTM and Attention Module. Unlike LSTM, which considers only the forward sequential procedure, the model proposed in this paper uses the reverse order procedure. The Attention Module is used with a Convolutional neural network model to use the characteristics of each frame for extraction. Experiments have shown that the model proposed has 93.5% accuracy and AUC is up to 50% higher than the results of pre-existing studies.

Detection of fake news is a complex and a challenging task. Generation of fake news is very hard to stop, only steps to control its circulation may help in minimizing its impacts. Humans tend to believe in misleading false information. Researcher started with social media sites to categorize in terms of real or fake news. False information misleads any individual or an organization that may cause of big failure and any financial loss. Automatic system for detection of false information circulating on social media is an emerging area of research. It is gaining attention of both industry and academia since US presidential elections 2016. Fake news has negative and severe effects on individuals and organizations elongating its hostile effects on the society. Prediction of fake news in timely manner is important. This research focuses on detection of fake news spreaders. In this context, overall, 6 models are developed during this research, trained and tested with dataset of PAN 2020. Four approaches N-gram based; user statistics-based models are trained with different values of hyper parameters. Extensive grid search with cross validation is applied in each machine learning model. In N-gram based models, out of numerous machine learning models this research focused on better results yielding algorithms, assessed by deep reading of state-of-the-art related work in the field. For better accuracy, author aimed at developing models using Random Forest, Logistic Regression, SVM, and XGBoost. All four machine learning algorithms were trained with cross validated grid search hyper parameters. Advantages of this research over previous work is user statistics-based model and then ensemble learning model. Which were designed in a way to help classifying Twitter users as fake news spreader or not with highest reliability. User statistical model used 17 features, on the basis of which it categorized a Twitter user as malicious. New dataset based on predictions of machine learning models was constructed. And then Three techniques of simple mean, logistic regression and random forest in combination with ensemble model is applied. Logistic regression combined in ensemble model gave best training and testing results, achieving an accuracy of 72%.

This study is about an Artificial Intelligence-based fake news identification system and its methods to determine the authenticity of content distributed over the Internet. Among the news we encounter is news that an individual or organization intentionally writes something that is not true to achieve a particular purpose, so-called fake news. In this study, we intend to design a system that uses Artificial Intelligence techniques to identify fake content that exists within the news. The proposed identification model will propose a method of extracting multiple unit factors from the target content. Through this, attempts will be made to classify unit factors into different types. In addition, the design of the preprocessing process will be carried out to parse only the necessary information by analyzing the unit factor. Based on these results, we will design the part where the unit fact is analyzed using the deep learning prediction model as a predetermined unit. The model will also include a design for a database that determines the degree of fake news in the target content and stores the information in the identified unit factor through the analyzed unit factor.

As Internet technology develops, SNS users are increasing. As SNS becomes popular, SNS-type crimes using the influence and anonymity of social networks are increasing day by day. In this paper, we propose a fake account classification method that applies machine learning and deep learning to statistical and image data for fake accounts classification. SNS account data used for training was collected by itself, and the collected data is based on statistical data and image data. In the case of statistical data, machine learning and multi-layer perceptron were employed to train. Furthermore in the case of image data, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was utilized. Accordingly, it was confirmed that the overall performance of account classification was significantly meaningful.

Diagnostic models are required. Data augmentation is one of the best ways to improve deep learning performance. Traditional augmentation techniques that modify image brightness or spatial information are difficult to achieve great results. To overcome this, a generative adversarial network (GAN) technology that generates virtual data to increase deep learning performance has emerged. GAN can create realistic-looking fake images by competitive learning two networks, a generator that creates fakes and a discriminator that determines whether images are real or fake made by the generator. GAN is being used in computer vision, IT solutions, and medical imaging fields. It is essential to secure additional learning data to advance deep learning-based fault diagnosis solutions in the power industry where facilities are strictly maintained more than other industries. In this paper, we propose a method for generating power facility images using GAN and a strategy for improving performance when only used a small amount of data. Finally, we analyze the performance of the augmented image to see if it could be utilized for the deep learning-based diagnosis system or not.
