NLP-based fraudulent biomedical news identification using LSTM-SGD deep learning algorithm
Abstract
Concern over bio medical fake news is rising, particularly as false information about illnesses, medical procedures, and public health regulations becomes more prevalent. It is essential to recognize such false information, and deep learning (DL) algorithms can offer a potent remedy, especially when paired with sophisticated natural language processing (NLP) methods. This technique improves the model's capacity to ignore frequently used but uninformative terms and concentrate on important terminology. The model's capacity to concentrate on the most pertinent phrases for fake news identification is enhanced by the use of chi-squared, a statistical test that ascertains the dependency between various variables and aids in the removal of unnecessary data. By reducing less significant characteristics to zero, the Lasso approach, a kind of regression, is used for feature selection, guaranteeing that the model only utilizes the most predictive features for classification. A crucial step in getting the data ready for DL models is feature extraction, which turns unprocessed text into numerical data. After the structured data has been analyzed, algorithms like as stochastic gradient descent (SGD), long short-term memory (LSTM) may determine whether or not an article is accurate. The authenticity and dependability of medical information provided across platforms may be ensured by effectively identifying biomedical fake news by fusing DL with sophisticated NLP techniques.
