Abstract

In the current era of vast information availability, the dissemination of misleading health information poses a considerable obstacle, jeopardizing public health and overall well-being. To tackle this challenge, experts have utilized artificial intelligence methods, especially machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), to create automated systems that can identify misleading health-related information. This study thoroughly investigates ML and DL techniques for detecting fraudulent health news. The analysis delves into distinct methodologies, exploring their unique approaches, metrics, and challenges. This study explores various techniques utilized in feature engineering, model architecture, and evaluation metrics within the realms of machine learning and deep learning methodologies. Additionally, we analyze the consequences of our results on enhancing the efficacy of systems designed to detect counterfeit health news and propose possible avenues for future investigation in this vital area.
