Hoaxify is a Fake News Classifier built using NLP Techniques.

Hoaxify 2.0 - Open-Sourced Version of Hoaxify 1.0

Introduction

Fake news is false or misleading information presented as news. It often has the aim of damaging the reputation of a person or entity, or making money through advertising revenue. Fake news is an increasingly common feature of today’s political landscape. To solve this issue, researchers and media experts have proposed fake news detectors adopting natural language processing (NLP) to analyze word patterns and statistical correlations of news articles. The dataset for training the ML (DL) model can be curated from crowdsourcing techniques or we can use already curated datasets from kaggle etc.

Data Curation

• Crowdsourcing for collection of data of fake news.
• Already prepared data.
• Attributes: news: news article no. title: the title of a news article text: the text of the article; could be incomplete label: a label that marks the article as potentially unreliable. where FAKE: unreliable and REAL: reliable

Modelling 🎆

• ML Classifier Models
• Neural Nets

Comparing the result matrices 🔎

• Creating visualizations for comparing the result matrices of different algorithms.

Dependencies 👇

• Python 3.x
• Keras/Tensorflow
• NLTK
• NumPy
• Pandas
• sklearn

CONTRIBUTION

Tech-stack Required 📚

• Python
• Basics of NLP
• Understanding of Machine Learning Classification Algorithms
• Knowledge of any Deep Learning Framework, Tensorflow or Keras
• Numpy and Pandas

Hoaxify 1.0

Hoaxify is a Fake News Classifier built using NLP Techniques.

Dataset

News.csv : A full trained dataset on following attributes-

• news: news article no.
• title: the title of a news article
• text: the text of the article; could be incomplete
• label: a label that marks the article as potentially unreliable. where FAKE: unreliable and REAL: reliable

Dependencies 👇

• Python 3.x
• NLTK
• NumPy
• Pandas
• sklearn
• CountVectorizer
• TfidfTransformer

Modelling 🎆

I fit 4 models to the training set, with testing accuracy of the models being:

• Logistic Regression (91.16%)
• Naive Bayes (82.32%)
• Decision Tree (80.49%)
• PassiveAggressive Classifier (93.12%)

hoaxify's Issues

Adding more models

I would like to add SVC and SGDClassifier to this project.
@Femme-js I'm participating in DWOC. It would be great if you assign this issue to me.
Thank you.

Making readme nicer with different programs that this project is participating in also adding links to codeofconduct and more gifs

Let me know if you want any work like thiss

Add banner to the readme.md

.gitignore file

adding .gitignore so that the repo looks better and only main files are visible. Can I do this issue? Thanks.

Collect the already prepared datasets from different sources in CSV format.

Adding a seperate line for admin in readme.md file and creating a Contributors table which updates automatically.

As of now , the Contributors table in the readme.md file is not up to date. Moreover one needs to update it manually each and every time. I wanna automate this by adding a new Contributors table which will update by itself.
Moreover , I wanna add a separate line to showcase the Project Admin if you want.

ISSUE TEMPLATE AND PR TEMPLATE

Hi @Femme-js
Let me know if you are interested in adding a issue and pr template to this repository which makes the maintainer's work more easier , these issue templates will consist of all major guidlines through which the user who opens a issue or opens a pr need to follow those instruction

you can check this below image @Femme-js

Add Contributors.md file

Hai,
I would like to add Contributors.md file in your project in the form of a table and display a link to it in README.md

Front End Development for the Website

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Every awesome project needs to have a Website linked to it so it would be great to have one for Hoaxify.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to add Web support to this project by creating a website for this.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context

• Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Add a CNN model to classify fake news

I wanted to add a CNN model which will classify fake news and I will train the dataset from kaggle or I can also try on the dataset which is used in the repo. Should I start doing this @Femme-js ?

README , CONTRIBUTION and CODE of CONDUCT FILE

Hi @Femme-js
I found that there is no contribution and code of conduct files in this repository so I would like work on this , I will create a contribution , code of conduct file and update readme file
kindly assign me this issue ,
I would like to contribute in this issue

Create a ML pipeline for this project

Make a logo for Hoaxify.

Update Readme

The Readme file can have more input and beautification to enhance the overall presentation of the project. If interested, please assign it to me.
Thank you :)

Make a classifier model using Ensemble Methods on the given dataset(s).

Correction in words in README.md

In DATA CURATION section -> word "Crowdsoucing"

In Comparing the result matrices ->
Word "visulations"

Train a neural network on the given dataset(s).

Add Web Support

Hey @AmanSingh0-0 @Khimit @shraiyya @Femme-js @akrish4 firstly great work on the project! I absolutely respect and love the work you guys have done. One suggestion and enhancement to the project if we could connect it to a website via API.

What do you guys say on that? Also I'm a Frontend Web Developer and I'd love working on it. Much thanks!

Add a GitHub action to auto-assign Mentors for every PR

I would like to add a GitHub action to auto-assign mentors for every PR. It sometimes becomes hectic for the mentors to take a look at all the Projects for the PRs made by the Contributors. This action would give a nice notification about reviewing the pr and make things pretty easy for the mentor. It would automatically ask for reviews by the mentors on every pr created.

Demo :

Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

Hello there,
I would like to add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md to your repo. Kindly assign me this issue.
THANK YOU

Integrate welcome bot

I can add a welcome bot config file having a proper message that will show up when any user will open up an issue or pull-request for the first time.
For reference, check out: https://github.com/apps/welcome

If you feel this is a great idea!
Please assign it to me.
