Description
Online medias are currently the dominant source of Information due to not being limited by time and place, fast and wide distributions. However, inaccurate news, or often referred as fake news is a major problem in news dissemination for online medias. Inaccurate news is information that is not true, that is engineered to cover the real information and has no factual basis. Usually, inaccurate news is made in the form of news that has mass appeal and is presented in the guise of genuine and legitimate news nuances to deceive or change the reader's mind or opinion. Identification of inaccurate news from real news can be done with natural language processing (NLP) technologies. In this paper, we proposed bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) for inaccurate news identification. BERT is a language model based on deep learning technologies and it has found effective for many NLP tasks. In this study, we use transfer learning and fine-tuning to adapt BERT for inaccurate news identification. The experiments show that our method could achieve accuracy of 99.23%, recall 99.46%, precision 98.86%, and F-Score of 99.15%. It is largely better than traditional method for the same tasks.
