Fake News Content Detection: Weekend Hackathon #20
We are back with another weekend hackathon and this weekend we are challenging the machinehack community to build an NLP model to analyze fake contents in the raw text from social media platforms and various other news platforms. Fake contents are everywhere from social media platforms, news platforms and there is a big list. Considering the advancement in NLP research institutes are putting a lot of sweat, blood, and tears to detect the fake content generated across the platforms. Fake news, defined by the New York Times as “a made-up story with an intention to deceive”, often for a secondary gain, is arguably one of the most serious challenges facing the news industry today. In a December Pew Research poll, 64% of US adults said that “made-up news” has caused a “great deal of confusion” about the facts of current events In this weekend hackathon, we challenge the machinehackers community to develop a machine learning model to accurately classify various contents into 6 different classes of labels such as True, False, Half-True, Barely-True, Mostly-True. The challenge will start on 11th Sep Friday at 6 pm IST. Click here to participate Problem Statement & Description In this hackathon, your goal as a data scientist is to create an NLP model, to combat the fake content menace. We believe that using AI technologies hold promise for significantly automating parts of the procedure human fact-checkers use today to determine if a story is real or a hoax. The dataset collected has close to 10240 rows with 3 columns and the content is in the form of raw text. The labels for each text row is provided with the training labels such as True, False, Half-True, Barely-True, Mostly-True. In this short span of time, we would encourage you to leverage the ImageNet moment (Transfer Learning) in NLP using various pre-trained models to classify the product reviews correctly using Multi-class Log Loss as a metric. Given are raw content collected over various social media and news platforms with 6 different classes. Your objective as a data scientist is to build a natural language processing model that can accurately classify the class labels as close as possible on test data. Dataset Description: The unzipped folder will have the following files. Train.csv – 10240 rows x 3 columns (Inlcudes Labels Column as Target)Test.csv – 1267 rows x 2 columnsSample Submission.csv – sample format for submission file. How to Generate a valid Submission File Sklearn models support the predic_proba() method to generate the probabilities for every class. You should submit a .csv/.xlsx file with exactly 1267 rows with 6 columns (one column per class). Your submission will return an Invalid Score if you have extra columns or rows. The file should have exactly 6 (0-5) columns: Attribute Description: Text – Raw content from social media/ new platformsText_Tag – Different types of content tagsLabels – Represents various classes of LabelsHalf-True – 2False – 1Mostly-True – 3True – 5Barely-True – 0Not-Known – 4 Skills: NLP, Sentiment AnalysisFeature extraction from raw text using TF-IDF, CountVectorizerUsing Word Embedding to represent words as vectorsUsing Pretrained models like Transformers, BERTOptimizing multi-class log loss to generalize well on unseen data The datasets will be made available for download on Sep 11th, Friday at 6 pm IST. This hackathon and the bounty will expire on Sep 14th, Monday at 7 am IST.
