Description
Summary:	Hoax news in Indonesia spread at an alarming rate. To reduce this, hoax news detection system needs to be created and put into practice. Such a system may use readers’ feedback and Naïve Bayes algorithm, which is used to verify news. Overtime, by using readers’ feedback, database corpus will continue to grow and could improve system performance. The current research aims to reach this. System performance evaluation is carried out under two conditions ‒ with and without sources (URL). The system is able to detect hoax news very well under both conditions. The highest precision, recall and f-measure values when including URL are 0.91, 1, and 0.95 respectively. Meanwhile, the highest value of precision, recall and f-measure without URL are 0.88, 1 and 0.94, respectively.
