Fake News Detection

About this Free Certificate Course

There are a lot of news articles where the news is false or cooked up. With so many advances in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, we can actually build a Machine Learning model on how to detect fake news. We can check if a piece of the news article is genuine or fake. In this fake news detection tutorial, we will be detecting fake news with Machine Learning methods to verify the genuineness of the article. In this course, we shall first start off with an introduction to machine learning. Then, we shall learn about algorithms, such as logistic regression and decision trees. Finally, there will be a demo on python for fake news detection.

Some best universities in the world, like the UT Austin and SRM Institute of Science and Technology, have designed several post-graduate Machine Learning Courses and degree programs by collaborating with Great Learning. These programs are the best in the industry, ranking #1 in India. The curriculum of the online artificial intelligence course has been prepared by the highest-rated faculty to provide learners with advanced AIML skills and techniques. In addition, various industry professionals from top-notch organizations offer learners personalized mentorship, giving them guidance to become successful in their careers.

Course Outline

Introduction to Machine Learning and Linear Regression

Data is the soul of Machine Learning, and there are specific methods to deal with it efficiently. This module first introduces Machine Learning and talks about the mathematical procedures involved. You will learn about supervised and unsupervised learning, Data Science Machine Learning steps, linear regression, Pearson's coefficient, best fit line, and coefficient of determinant. Lastly, you will be going through a case study to help you effectively comprehend Machine Learning concepts.

Logistic Regression

This section explains logistic regression, its advantages and disadvantages, concordance, and difference between logit and logistic regression. Later you will understand the term error, collinearity, predictive modelling, and the importance of logistic regression. You will also understand to evaluate a logistic regression model.

Decision Tree

This section discusses a well-known method of supervised learning which is the Decision Tree. You will also understand the advantages of using a decision tree. Later on, the tutor will cover some important questions based on regression in decision trees, random forest algorithms, gradient-boosted decision trees, unbalanced data, and tools used to draw decision trees.

Frequently Asked Questions

How machine learning detects fake news?

ML data most effectively work with functions that deal with numbers, so we must convert textual content records into numerical data. We must preprocess the textual content, known as natural language processing (NLP), and, in some cases, even deep learning. In-textual content preprocesses, we're cleansing our textual content with the aid of using steaming, lemmatization, taking off stopwords, casting off unique symbols and numbers, etc. After cleansing the records, we must feed this new data right into a vectorizer to convert these text records into numerical functions.
