Fabricated news articles are a threat to people's trust in the government and in effect, one of the biggest threats that modern-day democracies are facing. As the menace of fake news is growing with each passing day, so is the research community getting more actively involved in curbing this issue. This paper reviews the current progress of the advancements done to solve the issue. The paper also presents various ensemble techniques to perform the binary classification of news articles. Additionally, Natural Language Processing (NLP) emerges as one of the hottest topic in field of speech and language technology and Machine Learning (ML) can comprehend how to perform important NLP tasks. This is often achievable and cost-effective where manual programming is not. This paper strives to study NLP and ML and gives insights into the essential characteristics of both. It summarizes common NLP tasks in this comprehensive field, then provides a brief description of common machine learning approaches that are being used for different NLP tasks. Also this paper presents a review on various approaches to NLP and some related topics to NLP and ML. Respectively and with regard to this research article, fake news detection research is still in the early stage as this is a relatively new phenomenon in the interest raised by society. Machine learning helps to solve complex problems and to build AI systems nowadays and especially in those cases where we have tacit knowledge or the knowledge that is not known. We used machine learning algorithms and for identification of fake news; we applied three classifiers; Passive Aggressive, Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine. Simple classification is not completely correct in fake news detection because classification methods are not specialized for fake news. With the integration of machine learning and text-based processing, we can detect fake news and build classifiers that can classify the news data. Text classification mainly focuses on extracting various features of text and after that incorporating those features into classification. The big challenge in this area is the lack of an efficient way to differentiate between fake and non-fake due to the unavailability of corpora. We applied three different machine learning classifiers on two publicly available datasets. Experimental analysis based on the existing dataset indicates a very encouraging and improved performance.

Fabricated news articles are a threat to people's trust in the government and in effect, one of the biggest threats that modern-day democracies are facing. As the menace of fake news is growing with each passing day, so is the research community getting more actively involved in curbing this issue. This paper reviews the current progress of the advancements done to solve the issue. The paper also presents various ensemble techniques to perform the binary classification of news articles. Additionally, Natural Language Processing (NLP) emerges as one of the hottest topic in field of speech and language technology and Machine Learning (ML) can comprehend how to perform important NLP tasks. This is often achievable and cost-effective where manual programming is not. This paper strives to study NLP and ML and gives insights into the essential characteristics of both. It summarizes common NLP tasks in this comprehensive field, then provides a brief description of common machine learning approaches that are being used for different NLP tasks. Also this paper presents a review on various approaches to NLP and some related topics to NLP and ML. Respectively and with regard to this research article, fake news detection research is still in the early stage as this is a relatively new phenomenon in the interest raised by society. Machine learning helps to solve complex problems and to build AI systems nowadays and especially in those cases where we have tacit knowledge or the knowledge that is not known. We used machine learning algorithms and for identification of fake news; we applied three classifiers; Passive Aggressive, Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine. Simple classification is not completely correct in fake news detection because classification methods are not specialized for fake news. With the integration of machine learning and text-based processing, we can detect fake news and build classifiers that can classify the news data. Text classification mainly focuses on extracting various features of text and after that incorporating those features into classification. The big challenge in this area is the lack of an efficient way to differentiate between fake and non-fake due to the unavailability of corpora. We applied three different machine learning classifiers on two publicly available datasets. Experimental analysis based on the existing dataset indicates a very encouraging and improved performance.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with low budget and human resources are one of the major groups that tend to use CC for achieving the benefit of this technology. A multitude of factors influence the adoption of CC for SMEs. These decisive factors must be systematically evaluated prior to making the decision to adopt cloud-based solutions. The purpose of this study is to identify these factors and determine the extent to which they influence the adoption of CC for SMEs. Therefore, the project describes a research model that is based on the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory and the technology, organization and environment (TOE) framework. Based on previous study, research model was developed to test eight (8) variables, which are: relative advantage, compatibility, security concerns, cost savings, technology readiness, top manager support, competitive pressure and regulatory support. Data was collected by survey questionnaires from a sample of 22 SMEs that all of these SMEs as a customer's of one cloud provider. There are 77 experts in information technology department from those SMEs are selected to fill the questionnaires. The Smart PLS tool was used for data analysis. The results of the data analysis generally support the model, as well as all of the proposed hypotheses. In summary, the results of this research have shown relative advantage, compatibility, security concerns, cost savings, technology readiness, top manager support, competitive pressure and regulatory support were found to have significant influence on adoption of CC for SMEs.

However the majority of the existing works ignore the dynamic nature of the incoming stream of VM deployment requests from cloud customers that continuously arrive to the cloud provider infrastructure besides Simulated Annealing power isn’t examined in solving placement problem.
In this paper, we provide an efficient method for placement management in an IaaS cloud which is under a stream of requests and present a novel technique called DSAP that projects the past demand behaviour of a VM to a candidate target host using Simulated Annealing. We exploit the DSAP technique in two phases, first for handling the stream of deployment requests, second in a periodic optimization, to handle the dynamic aspects of the demands. The result shows that the suggested method does an efficient placement with a low demand dissatisfaction, which can be stated in SLA.
