摘要

News has an important role to play in society. It helps keep the public informed and educated about what is happening around them. That is why, due to the immense responsibility that news has in influencing public thoughts, spreading fake news is an extremely relevant issue in today’s world, where it has become quite common. In this paper, we compare models-BERT, IndicBERT, roBERTa and Muril and an ensemble model. This paper also evaluates traditional models like support vector machines, linear regression, and random tree and aims to analyze and conclude which among them is best for fake news detection. This comparison is done based on various parameters like sentiment analysis, performance analysis, and accuracy analysis. The findings of the paper conclude the need for specific models solely designed for Dravidian languages and models that make comparisons not just based on pattern recognition and sentiment evaluation, but also through fact checking.
