Inspiration
In this covid-19 pandemic situation, there were many fake and misleading news stories related to medical treatments and major diseases like cancer or diabetes. Trusting these false stories could lead you to make decisions that may be harmful to your health.
What it does
It checks whether the news is true or fake
How I built it
For the detection part, I used a Machine Learning classification algorithm. I integrated the model with the frontend using Django.
What we learned
I learned how to build a model using Natural Language Processing. I also learned how to pickle an ML model and integrate it with a framework like Django.
What's next for Fake News Detection
I want to build a chrome extension that collects the data/article of a website and detects whether the website is providing fake or true information.
