Abstract-The spread of fake news has become a significant concern in today’s society, as misleading information can easily damage reputations and lives. To address this issue, researchers have developed fake news detection systems using machine learning techniques. The identification of fake news is rapidly gaining traction and is increasingly being adopted by various industries, either for their own use or to offer as a service to others. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are two prominent approaches employed to determine the authenticity of news. There are various methods available for detecting false news through both ML and DL techniques. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of fake news detection using machine learning approaches. Upon thorough examination, it was found that several ML and DL algorithms have been applied in this domain, with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) being the most commonly used ML method, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) being the most widely applied DL technique.
