A survey of uncover misleading and cyberbullying on social media for public health

Misleading health information is a critical phenomenon in our modern life due to advance in technology. In fact, social media facilitated the dissemination of information, and as a result, misinformation spread rapidly, cheaply, and successfully. Fake health information can have a significant effect on human behavior and attitudes. This survey presents the current works developed for misleading information detection (MLID) in health fields based on machine learning and deep learning techniques and introduces a detailed discussion of the main phases of the generic adopted approach for MLID. In addition, we highlight the benchmarking datasets and the most used metrics to evaluate the performance of MLID algorithms are discussed and finally, a deep investigation of the limitations and drawbacks of the current progressing technologies in various research directions is provided to help the researchers to use the most proper methods in this emerging task of MLID.
