Fake News Detection

Inspiration

What it does

It helps people recognize that an article has false information and is unreliable

How I built it

Scraped data from outside resources then used that data to create a model to predict whether or not the website is fake based on title and content. Uploaded the model on a webserver for the chrome extension to have access to it

Challenges I ran into

Scraping was very painful and time consuming because it was difficult to recognize important variables that will influence the validity of an article

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

What I learned

I learned data mining is very tedious.

What's next for Fake News Detection
