Fake news has been coming into sight in significant numbers for numerous business and political reasons and has become frequent in the online world. People can get contaminated easily by these fake news for its fabricated words which have enormous effects on the offline community. Thus, interest in research in this area has risen. Significant research has been conducted on the detection of fake news from English texts and other languages but a few in Bangla Language. Our work reflects the experimental analysis on the detection of Bangla fake news from social media as this field still requires much focus. In this research work, we have used two supervised machine learning algorithms, Multinomial Naive Bayes (MNB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers to detect Bangla fake news with CountVectorizer and Term Frequency -Inverse Document Frequency Vectorizer as feature extraction. Our proposed framework detects fake news depending on the polarity of the corresponding article. Finally, our analysis shows SVM with the linear kernel with an accuracy of 96.64% outperform MNB with an accuracy of 93.32%.

In the information age, Bangla news articles on the internet are fast-growing. For organizing, every news site has a particular structure and categorization. News article classification is a method to determine a document's classification based on various predefined categories. This research discusses the classification of Bangla news articles on the online platform and tries to make constructive comparison using several classification algorithms. For Bangla news articles classification, term frequencyinverse document frequency (TF-IDF) weighting and count vectorizer have been used as a feature extraction process, and two common classifiers named support vector machine (SVM) and logistic regression (LR) employed for classifying the documents. It is clear that the accuracy of the experimental results by applying SVM is 84.0% and LR is 81.0% for twelve categories of news articles. In this research work, when we have made comparison two renowned classification algorithms applied on the Bangla news articles, LR was outperformed by SVM.
