Abstract : Recently, social networks have become more popular owing to the capability of connecting people globally and sharing videos, images and various types of data. A major security issue in social media is the existence of fake accounts. It is a phenomenon that has fake accounts that can be frequently utilized by mischievous users and entities, which falsify, distribute, and duplicate fake news and publicity. As the fake news resulted in serious consequences, numerous research works have focused on the design of automated fake accounts and fake news detection models. In this aspect, this study designs a hyperparameter tuned deep learning based automated fake news detection (HDL-FND) technique. The presented HDL-FND technique accomplishes the effective detection and classification of fake news. Besides, the HDLFND process encompasses a three stage process namely preprocessing, feature extraction, and Bi-Directional Long Short Term Memory (BiLSTM) based classification. The correct way of demonstrating the promising performance of the HDL-FND technique, a sequence of replications were performed on the available Kaggle dataset. The investigational outcomes produce improved performance of the HDL-FND technique in excess of the recent approaches in terms of diverse measures.
