Detecting Fake News, At Its Source
Researchers have created a new deep learning system that can determine if a news outlet is accurate or biased based on only 150 articles published. The algorithm can also detect the political leanings of a news site. Researchers say fake news articles are more likely to use language that is hyperbolic, subjective and emotional.... Read More...
