Detect fake instagram account

Inspiration

In such a digital world, people use lots of different social medias to gain information. However, many fake accounts are also registered and may cause some issues for the social media. Thus, I choose to construct a model to identify the fake account

What it does

The model get the username and sessionid of instagram and will output the possibility that it is a tru account

How we built it

I tried several different algorithms and tuned parameters for hours. Then, I chose the best model for the dataset. I then write another program to scrape data from instagram and process the data into a correct form. At last, I create a UI using tkinter so that people can use it better

Challenges we ran into

It is very difficult for me to design a UI for my program as I barely know anything about this.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The model actually works and the UI also works(, though it is ugly).

What we learned

It is important to have an outline before you actually start.
