Course details
• **Data Acquisition & Preprocessing:** Gathering diverse datasets of authentic and fake news articles, cleaning and formatting the data for analysis.
• **Natural Language Processing (NLP) Techniques:** Utilizing techniques like tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, and part-of-speech tagging for text analysis.
• **Feature Engineering:** Extracting relevant features from text data such as word frequencies, n-grams, sentiment scores, readability metrics, and source credibility indicators.
• **Machine Learning Model Selection:** Choosing appropriate classification algorithms (e.g., Naive Bayes, SVM, Random Forest, LSTM) for distinguishing fake from real news.
• **Model Training & Evaluation:** Training the selected model on the prepared dataset, evaluating its performance using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.
• **Bias Detection & Mitigation:** Identifying and addressing potential biases in the training data and model to ensure fairness and accuracy.
• **Deployment & Monitoring:** Deploying the trained model for real-time fake news detection and continuously monitoring its performance to adapt to evolving patterns.
• **Explainable AI (XAI) Techniques:** Incorporating methods to understand the model's decision-making process and build trust in its predictions.
