ABSTRACT

This Project comes up with the applications of NLP (Natural Language Processing)
techniques for detecting the ‘fake news’, that is, misleading news stories that comes from the
non-reputable sources. Only by building a model based on a count vectorizer (using word
tallies) or a (Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency) tfidf matrix, (word tallies
relative to how often they’re used in other articles in your dataset) can only get you so far.
But these models do not consider the important qualities like word ordering and context. It is
very possible that two articles that are similar in their word count will be completely different
in their meaning. The data science community has responded by taking actions against the
problem. There is a Kaggle competition called as the “Fake News Challenge” and Facebook
is employing AI to filter fake news stories out of users’ feeds. Combatting the fake news is a
classic text classification project with a straight forward proposition. Is it possible for you to
build a model that can differentiate between “Real “news and “Fake” news? So a proposed
work on assembling a dataset of both fake and real news and employ a Naive Bayes classifier
in order to create a model to classify an article into fake or real based on its words and
phrases.
