4. Consider the current conflict that happens in different part of the country in Ethiopian. There are
many reasons for the conflict. Among these reason, Fake News disseminated over the social media
is one. Considering the case of Fake News, you have been selected as machine learning expert to
design a machine learning system that can detect a fake news from the real one and report for the
respective office. Based on the above information answer the following three question (A, B and
C). assuming you have unlimited access to technology such as telecom access is provided from
Ethio-telecom
4A. What type of data is required and how you collect to design such a ML system? (2.5pt)
4B. Which ML algorithm is appropriate to create model? Why? (2.5pt)
4C. Explain how you implement a ML model that you have selected in the above answer. Give
a brief description of the system and explain how to deploy the model to solve the stated
problems. (4pt)
