Abstract

The research focuses on enhancing the method of fake news detection based on natural language processing (NLP) utilising low-power edge computing architecture through attention mechanisms and contextual analysis. An attention mechanism and contextual analysis are implemented to detect linguistic signs of credibility and stylistic differences between fake and real news. This approach aims to enable news verification on peripheral devices with limited computational resources without compromising speed.

Experimental studies validate the efficiency of the proposed method in identifying anomalies in text frequency and credibility markers. Fake news is identified by the higher use of emotionally charged words, probative statements and profanity compared to real news.

The integration of attention mechanisms and contextual analysis showcases a notable improvement in identifying linguistic anomalies typical of fake news, achieving a classification accuracy of 81%. The findings contribute to combating misinformation by leveraging linguistic nuances and signify potential advancements in news veracity assessment on resource-constrained devices.
