Fake_News_Detect🧐

This GitHub repository is for our MTH2253 course research on 'How social media spreads misinformation?'. The repository showcases the models we trained and the datasets we used.

The first model is named (img_fake_detect)🖼

it uses the naive bayes algorithm to predict the probability that news is fake given that it has no image.

The second model is named (text_fake_detect)📝

Using the power of NLP and TF-IDF, it predicts whether news is fake by processing its text.

To run the two models:

1- Unzip the datasets files. 2- run the code of the two models.
