Enhanced Fake News Detection through the Fusion of Deep Learning and Repeat Vector Representations

The rapid dissemination of information across social networks, online news portals, and digital platforms has given rise to a pervasive issue—fake news. This misinformation, deliberately propagated by groups with ulterior motives, has the potential to divert societies in alarming directions. In a digital landscape inundated with millions of daily stories, distinguishing fact from fabrication has become a formidable challenge, casting a dark cloud of uncertainty over the information age. In response to this critical issue, this paper presents an innovative approach for enhanced fake news detection through the fusion of deep learning and Repeat Vector representations. In an era where individuals of all ages increasingly rely on online news sources, the dissemination of misinformation has become an alarming norm. It is a challenge to discern deceptive narratives that aim to sow discord and create undue anxiety.To confront this challenge head-on, we propose a deep neural network model that combines Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) architectures using the Repeat Vector method. This hybrid model excels in deciphering complex patterns within 1D data, effectively tackling the menace of fake news. Our rigorous evaluation demonstrates that our proposed model outperforms contemporary methods, achieving an impressive validation accuracy of up to 98.94% on our dataset.In a world increasingly plagued by misinformation, our approach represents a significant stride toward safeguarding the integrity of information in the digital age.
