A Proposal for a novel approach to analyze and detect the fake news using AI techniques

Fake news is a type of news that contains deliberately incorrect information and is spread with malicious intent in fields that include and are not limited to politics, finance and entertainment. Fake news and misinformation are abundant these days due to increased access to the internet and social media websites and other sharing platforms. These can have harmful effects on society and its spread must be contained. The first step in containing the proliferation of fake news is to identify a piece of news as fake or real. The goal of our system is to train it with articles using reliable news sources using web mining techniques and subsequently analyze a piece of news using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to classify it as fake or real.
