Fake News Detection Model

Model Overview

This model is designed to classify news articles as real or fake based on their textual content. It uses a BERT-based transformer model (bert-base-uncased) fine-tuned on a custom dataset of news articles. The model predicts whether a given article is fake or real with high accuracy.

Usage

To use this model, you can interact with it via the Hugging Face Inference API or integrate it into your Python-based applications.

Example code for inference:

import requests

url = "https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/your-username/fake-news-bert"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY"}
payload = {"inputs": "The news article content here"}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
prediction = response.json()

print(f"Prediction: {prediction}")
