Fakathon

Fake news is all around. We now have come up with the algorithm to filter out all the fake news by analyzing headline and news content with 10 factors including complexity score, sentiment score and article length. We sourced the data from New York Times API, Event Registry API, etc for true news source. On the other hand, we use a customized web crawling script "Beautiful Soup" to store and fetch fake news data. We built a web interface that allows user to enter a news URL and return a reliability score which is predicted by a back-end AI system.
