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</p><h3>Dependencies</h3><p>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.</p><pre><code>!pip install turicreate
!pip uninstall -y mxnet
!pip install mxnet-cu100==1.4.0.post0
</code></pre><p>If you do not wish to train on GPU or are running it on your computer, you can ignore the last two lines</p><h3>Downloading the Dataset</h3><pre><code>!wget -q "https://github.com/joolsa/fake_real_news_dataset/raw/master/fake_or_real_news.csv.zip"
!unzip fake_or_real_news.csv.zip
</code></pre><h3>Model Creation</h3><pre><code>import turicreate as tc
tc.config.set_num_gpus(-1) # If you do not wish to use GPUs, set it to 0
</code></pre><pre><code>dataSFrame = tc.SFrame('fake_or_real_news.csv')
</code></pre><p>The dataset contains a column named "X1", which is of no use to us. Therefore, we simply drop it</p><pre><code>dataSFrame.remove_column('X1')
</code></pre><h4>Splitting Dataset</h4><pre><code>train, test = dataSFrame.random_split(.9)
</code></pre><h4>Training</h4><pre><code>model = tc.text_classifier.create(

Abrams’ skillful pacing and faithfulness to George Lucas’ vision, which makes me wonder if I should just call the whole thing off. Now, I really don’t feel like camping outside his house for hours. Maybe I could go with a response that’s somewhere in between, like, threatening to kill his dog but not everyone in his whole family? I don’t know. This is a tough one.” At press time, sources reported that Ariely had resolved to wear his Ewok costume while he murdered the critic in his sleep."]}
