Solving the problem of rumors classification in online news
https://doi.org/10.55648/1998-6920-2025-19-3-122-138
Abstract
The article considers an approach to solving the problem of classifying rumors in the
news based on production rules. Unverified information appearing on news sites has the nature
of information garbage and is capable of causing significant harm to consumers in some cases.
The problem being solved is non-trivial, relevant and has no standard solution.
