The rapid dissemination of fake news through online news platforms and social media has become a major challenge, significantly influencing public opinion, political decision-making, and social stability. Recent fake news detection methods have achieved promising performance using deep contextual language models such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). However, most existing approaches process news articles independently and primarily focus on textual semantics while overlooking structural relationships among related news articles. Consequently, valuable graph-based information, including semantic similarity, shared entities, common publishers, and topical relationships, remains underutilized. This paper proposes GraphBERT4FakeNews, a graph transformer framework that jointly learns contextual semantic representations and graph structural information for English fake news detection. First, BERT generates contextualized embeddings from news articles. A news graph is then constructed by connecting semantically related articles according to contextual similarity. Subsequently, a GraphBERT encoder performs graph-aware self-attention to capture both local and long-range structural dependencies without relying on conventional graph convolution operations. Finally, a classification layer predicts whether a news article is genuine or fake. The proposed framework is evaluated on the publicly available FakeNewsNet benchmark, including the GossipCop and PolitiFact datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that GraphBERT4FakeNews effectively integrates semantic understanding with graph structural reasoning, leading to improved fake news detection performance compared with conventional language models and graph neural network approaches.

This study aims to (1) examine the effectiveness of the Convolutional Gated Recurrent Network for Fake News Detection (CGRN4FakeNews) model in fake news classification and (2) compare its performance with baseline methods across different datasets. The model was evaluated using the PolitiFact and GossipCop subsets of the FakeNewsNet dataset. The research process involved text preprocessing and data cleaning, including word tokenization, lowercasing, the removal of URLs, HTML tags, numerical values, punctuation marks, and redundant whitespace, as well as stopword handling. The processed text data were then transformed into vector representations using a word embedding technique for model training and evaluation. The model performance was assessed based on Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score, and Confusion Matrix metrics. The experimental results indicate that the proposed CGRN4FakeNews model effectively distinguishes between real and fake news articles, achieving classification accuracies of 95.75% on the PolitiFact dataset and 91.12% on the GossipCop dataset. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness and suitability of the CGRN4FakeNews model for fake news detection tasks.

This study proposes BERTGRU4Sentiment, a deep learning model that combines fine-tuned Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) with a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) for multilingual sentiment analysis. The proposed model is evaluated on four benchmark datasets: Wongnai (Thai), Amazon Reviews (English), Twitter/X (English), and IMDB (English), covering both three-class (negative, neutral, positive) and two-class (negative, positive) classification tasks. To address class imbalance, a mixed over- and under-sampling strategy is applied to all datasets. Results demonstrate that BERTGRU4Sentiment consistently outperforms traditional baseline models including Decision Tree, Random Forest, XGBoost, and LSTM across all datasets, achieving accuracy of 69.49% on Wongnai, 93.67% on Amazon Reviews, 71.73% on Twitter, and 83.97% on IMDB. The findings confirm that BERTGRU4Sentiment enables richer contextual feature extraction, and the proposed architecture is effective for multilingual sentiment classification tasks.

This research paper examines the effectiveness of different machine learning (ML) models in analyzing how library usage influences the academic performance of Thammasat University students. By leveraging a comprehensive dataset that contains library interactions such as library of things (LoT) services, book borrowing and returning, and space services, this study evaluates five ML models: decision tree, k-nearest neighbors, Naïve Bayes, random forest, and support vector machine. The primary goal is to identify which library services and facilities significantly impact student success to provide actionable insights for customizing library offerings and enhancing academic outcomes. Results were that the decision tree model was particularly effective, delivering precise, reliable classification of factors affecting student academic performance into training data and data testing, using the 10-fold cross-validation procedure. These findings help demonstrate practical applications of ML in educational contexts and facilitate library strategic planning and management.
