An Intelligent Automatic Hoax Detection System

Although they sometimes seem harmless, hoaxes represent not-negligible threat to individuals’ awareness of real-life situations by deceiving them, and at the same time doing harm to the image of their organizations, which can lead to substantial financial losses. Spreading of hoaxes also influences the normal operating regime of networks and the efficiency of workers. In this paper we present an intelligent automatic hoax detection system based on neural networks and advanced text processing. In the developing of our system we use a database with real-life e-mail hoaxes, and an additional database with real-life e-mail messages. At the end we give brief experimental evaluation of the hoax detection system and comment the results.
