Description

The proliferation of fake news in the digital age poses a critical threat to informed public discourse and societal stability. This paper introduces VERIT-ALBERT, a novel fine-tuned LLM-based solution designed to enhance fake news detection by utilizing the lightweight architecture of the ALBERT transformer.
Through benchmarking on multiple real-world Fake News datasets, we demonstrate the efficiency of VERIT-ALBERT, providing validated strategies for improving fake news detection.
