    Abstract :

    In this study we present a software, called ANDES (fAke News DEtection System) able to distinguish fake from true news. ANDES is based on the idea of using two independent models for classification, based on different perspectives: domains and news. For the validation of the news is used a matrix term-documents with function of weight TF-IDF, Support Vector Machine for the classification and the Stochastic Descent of the Gradient to form the model. In the classification with respect to the second perspective, a bayesian classifier will be used, on a set of characteristics taken from the domain. The data used in the tests, have been obtained through a new scraping system, which uses instances of the browser Google Chrome.
