Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have enabled connection and communication on a large scale. It has revolutionized the rate at which information is shared and enhanced its reach. However, another side of the coin dictates an alarming story. These platforms have led to an increase in the creation and spread of fake news. The fake news has not only influenced people in the wrong direction but also claimed human lives. During these critical times of the Covid19 pandemic, it is easy to mislead people and make them believe in fatal information. Therefore it is important to curb fake news at source and prevent it from spreading to a larger audience. We look at automated techniques for fake news detection from a data mining perspective. We evaluate different supervised text classification algorithms on Contraint@AAAI 2021 Covid-19 Fake news detection dataset. The classification algorithms are based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). We also evaluate the importance of unsupervised learning in the form of language model pre-training and distributed word representations using unlabelled covid tweets corpus. We report the best accuracy of 98.41% on the Covid-19 Fake news detection dataset.

Early childhood has a strong curiosity, that's one of its characteristics. This curiosity can be overcome by using the media as a media application. Because learning English as a language that is widely used in the world today is quite a difficult task, especially for young children.

Learning media is anything that is used to increase the effectiveness of learning for each student. Through the development of technology, education and mass media, they can create a more attractive and efficient way of teaching for everyone, especially children. In early childhood, the media used certainly attracts more attention, such as the use of flash cards and pictures. This learning media causes the emergence of creativity for every child which is useful for improving their abilities, especially speaking skills, so that children are even more courageous to express their opinions using English.
