"ML Tool Identifies Domains Created to Promote Fake News"

Researchers at UCL and other institutions have collaborated to develop a machine learning tool that identifies new domains created to promote false information so that they can be stopped before fake news can be spread through social media and online channels.  In a new study, the machine-learning model was applied to domain registration data and allowed the tool to correctly identify 92 percent of the false information domains and 96.2 percent of the non-false information domains set up in relation to the 2016 US election before they started operations.
