摘要

Rumors spread quickly on social media, which profoundly affects people’s ideas and how they think about themselves and society. Identifying the rumors and refuting them before they cause suffering and agony is essential. This work presents the techniques for detecting rumors, especially on social media, to stop stress and injury of any kind. Feature extraction is done using the hybrid approach to choose the relevant features. Sentiment analysis is used in conjunction with machine learning to detect rumors. The standard PHEME dataset is used. Several classification techniques including Multinomial Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Decision Tree, and K-Nearest Neighbor are implemented to compare the accuracy of obtained results. The Multinomial Bayes algorithm provides better results as compared to other classification approaches. If it is a rumor then it specifies whether it is harmful or not, as a harmful rumor affects society.
