Abstract
—The use of digital media, such as social networks, has promoted the spreading of fake news on a large scale. Therefore, several Machine Learning techniques, such as artificial neural networks, have been used for fake news detection and classification. These techniques are widely used due to their learning capabilities. Besides, models based on artificial neural networks can be easily integrated into social media and websites to spot fake news early and avoid their propagation. Nevertheless, most fake news classification models are available only for English news, limiting the possibility of detecting fake news in other languages, such as Spanish. For this reason, this study proposes implementing a web service that integrates a deep learning model for the classification of fake news in Spanish. To determine the best model, the performance of several neural network architectures, including MLP, CNN, and LSTM, was evaluated using the F1 score., and LSTM using the F1 score. The LSTM architecture was the best, with an F1 score of 0.746. Finally, the efficiency of web service was evaluated, applying temporal behavior as a metric, resulting in an average response time of 1.08 seconds.
期刊介绍:
IJACSA is a scholarly computer science journal representing the best in research. Its mission is to provide an outlet for quality research to be publicised and published to a global audience. The journal aims to publish papers selected through rigorous double-blind peer review to ensure originality, timeliness, relevance, and readability. In sync with the Journal''s vision "to be a respected publication that publishes peer reviewed research articles, as well as review and survey papers contributed by International community of Authors", we have drawn reviewers and editors from Institutions and Universities across the globe. A double blind peer review process is conducted to ensure that we retain high standards. At IJACSA, we stand strong because we know that global challenges make way for new innovations, new ways and new talent. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications publishes carefully refereed research, review and survey papers which offer a significant contribution to the computer science literature, and which are of interest to a wide audience. Coverage extends to all main-stream branches of computer science and related applications
