Exploring Machine Learning and Transformer-based Approaches for Deceptive Text Classification: A Comparative Analysis
share
Deceptive text classification is a critical task in natural language processing that aims to identify deceptive o fraudulent content. This study presents a comparative analysis of machine learning and transformer-based approaches for deceptive text classification. We investigate the effectiveness of traditional machine learning algorithms and state-of-the-art transformer models, such as BERT, XLNET, DistilBERT, and RoBERTa, in detecting deceptive text. A labeled dataset consisting of deceptive and non-deceptive texts is used for training and evaluation purposes. Through extensive experimentation, we compare the performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, of the different approaches. The results of this study shed light on the strengths and limitations of machine learning and transformer-based methods for deceptive text classification, enabling researchers and practitioners to make informed decisions when dealing with deceptive content.
