Abstract

Nowadays, internet has become the most popular source of news. However, the validity of the online news articles is difficult to assess, whether it is a fact or a hoax. Hoaxes related to Covid-19 brought a problematic effect to human life. An accurate hoax detection system is important to filter abundant information on the internet.  In this research, a Covid-19 hoax detection system was proposed by transfer learning of pre-trained transformer models. Fine-tuned original pre-trained BERT, multilingual pre-trained mBERT, and monolingual pre-trained IndoBERT were used to solve the classification task in the hoax detection system. Based on the experimental results, fine-tuned IndoBERT models trained on monolingual Indonesian corpus outperform fine-tuned original and multilingual BERT with uncased versions. However, the fine-tuned mBERT cased model trained on a larger corpus achieved the best performance.
