Abstract

The viral spread of fake news on social media platforms has become a significant concern. Detecting and mitigating the spread of fake news pose a major challenge, requiring extensive effort from fact-checkers, governments, and organizations. However, the speed and volume of disinformation on social media reach far beyond the capacity of manual efforts to prebunk it. In recent years, various automatic fake news detection mechanisms have been proposed, ranging from models focusing on linguistic cues to approaches analyzing network characteristics. While these methods produce successful results, ever-evolving techniques of deception often outpace them. AI-based approaches offer a new opportunity in the subject matter. Especially deep learning-based detection systems provide substantial new ways to understand the context while adapting well to the evolving patterns of fake news. In this study, we explore the evolution of fake news detection. We discuss conventional and automatic fake news detection methods and the state-of-the-art deep learning approaches.
