ABSTRACT
The rise of Fake news has caught the attention of various research groups. Its
prevalence has increased due to the evolution of social media platforms and the
increasing number of fake news outlets.
We propose a system for detecting fake news through machine learning techniques.
We use term frequencyinverse document frequency (TF-IDF) and support vector
machine (SVM) to extract features from n-grams and word samples.
