Detection of Textual Propaganda Using Passive Aggressive Classifiers

Abstract

Nowadays, social media activity, particularly news that spreads over the network, is a major source of knowledge. People search out and chew up news from internet-based living because of the low effort, easy access, and rapid dissemination of information. Twitter, as one of the most wellknown continuing news sources, also happens to be one of the most dominant news disseminating media. It has already been known to wreak significant harm by disseminating snippets of gossip. Online clients are typically susceptible, and everything they do on web-based networking media is assumed to be trustworthy. As a result, automating counterfeit propaganda detection is critical to maintaining a vibrant online media and informal organization. In order to computerize propaganda news identification in Twitter datasets, this research develops a technique for recognizing propaganda text messages from tweets by figuring out how to anticipate precision evaluations. This paper proposes a supervised machine learning technique, Passive aggressive classifiers that uses Count Vectorizer and Term FrequencyInverse Document Frequency Vectorizer as feature extraction to detect propaganda news based on the polarity of the corresponding article. Finally, this algorithm uses dataset with 43000 records and shows good accuracy.
