    Fake News Detection in Hindi Using Embedding Techniques
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Shailendra, P.; Rashmi, M.; Ramu, S.; Guddeti, R.M.R.
    Internet users have been rapidly increasing in recent years, especially in India. That is why nearly everything operates in an online mode. Sharing information has also become simple and easy due to the internet and social media. Almost everyone now shares news in the community without even considering the source of information. As a result, there is the issue of disseminating false, misleading, or fabricated data. Detecting fake news is a challenging task because it is presented in such a form that it looks like authentic information. This problem becomes more challenging when it comes to local languages. This paper discusses several deep learning models that utilize LSTM, BiLSTM, CNN+LSTM, and CNN+BiLSTM. On the Hostility detection dataset in Hindi, these models use Word2Vec, IndicNLP fastText, and Facebook's fastText embeddings for fake news detection. The proposed CNN+BiLSTM model with Facebook's fastText embedding achieved an F1-score of 75%, outperforming the baseline model. Additionally, the BiLSTM using Facebook's fastText outperforms CNN+BiLSTM using Facebook's fastText on the F1-score. © 2022 IEEE.
