Building a Fake News Detector with Turicreate

In this tutorial we will build a fake news detecting app from scratch, using Turicreate for the machine learning model and SwiftUI for building the app

Note: These commands are written as if you are running a jupyter notebook.

Building the Machine Learning Model

Data Gathering

To build a classifier, you need a lot of data. George McIntire (GH: @joolsa) has created a wonderful dataset containing the headline, body and wheter it is fake or real. Whenever you are looking for a dataset, always try searching on Kaggle and GitHub before you start building your own

Dependencies

I used a Google Colab instance for training my model. If you also plan on using Google Colab then I reccomend choosing a GPU Instance (It is Free) This allows you to train the model on the GPU. Turicreat is built on top of Apache's MXNet Framework, for us to use GPU we need to install a CUDA compatible MXNet package.

!pip install turicreate +Building a Fake News Detector with Turicreate | Navan Chauhan

!pip install turicreate !pip uninstall -y mxnet !pip install mxnet-cu100==1.4.0.post0

If you do not wish to train on GPU or are running it on your computer, you can ignore the last two lines

Downloading the Dataset

!wget -q "https://github.com/joolsa/fake_real_news_dataset/raw/master/fake_or_real_news.csv.zip" -- cgit v1.2.3
