On the one hand, its low cost, easy access, and rapid dissemination of information lead people to seek out and consume news from social media. On the other hand, it enables the wide spread of œfake news , i.e., low quality news with intentionally false information. The extensive spread of fake news has the potential for extremely negative impacts on individuals and society. Therefore, fake news detection on social media has recently become an emerging research that is attracting tremendous attention. Fake news detection on social media presents unique characteristics and challenges that make existing detection algorithms from traditional news media ine €ective or not applicable. First, fake news is intentionally written to mislead readers to believe false information, which makes it di ƒcult and nontrivial to detect based on TI - Fake News Detection on Social Media: A Data Mining Perspective JF - ACM SIGKDD Explorations Newsletter DO - 10.1145/3137597.3137600 DA - 2017-09-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/association-for-computing-machinery/fake-news-detection-on-social-media-a-data-mining-perspective-3pcyMHvnGk SP - 22 VL - 19 IS - 1 DP - DeepDyve ER -
