Abstract

Information overloading became a well identified challenge ever since the advent of social media, and the information overloading led to the second birth of rumors. Rumors come in different kinds and significance. So, it became one of the priorities to try and resolve this expanding issue and inhibit its growth amongst social media users as it can jeopardize the people. The main task of rumor detection is to clarify and classify whether the rumor is true, false or yet to be known and also, detect the source of the rumor, which can benefit the society as a whole from the spread of incorrect information and prevent the spread of panic, fear or hate. The Rumor detection is going to use Machine Learning and Deep Learning as its base. The whole process should pass through multiple phases including data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction and classifying.
