Machine learning effectively detects fake news using textual and linguistic features

This research paper explores the effectiveness of textual and linguistic content features in detecting fake news, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study utilized traditional machine learning models like Random Forest and Support Vector Machine, finding that these models performed well. Combining textual and linguistic features did not significantly improve detection accuracy compared to using them separately. AI
