This article aims at describing the model selection and hyperparameter tuning process to perform fake-news detection.
My previous article, in which I explained how the model selection is executed within the field of machine learning on an Amazon Kindle reviews dataset, has been a success among readers. The project presented a limit, though, given the size of the dataset containing roughly 1.000.000 reviews, we couldn’t deploy the algorithm on a good portion of unseen data. It was done on 50.000 records, approximately 5%, because of computing limitations.
In this article, the goal is to identify and tune… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
