Abstract

In this paper we examine the results of training models and then testing accuracy of three machine learning algorithms in the context of fake news detection applying Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) as the underlying principle to determine which of the said algorithms would be more suited to solve the problem.
