Fake News Detection — Misinformation Classification

Fake news detection is a natural-language-processing classification task that assesses the credibility of news text and labels content as fake or genuine. Building on the social-media framing of Shu et al. (2017) and the automated-fact-checking framing of Thorne and Vlachos (2018), it turns unstructured news articles into a supervised credibility decision learned from labelled examples.
