Fake News Detection in Hindi Language

Overview

Majority of the fake news spread now a days in India is in regional languages. There are already a lot of fake news detection models out there in the world but majority of them are for English Language only. There is hardly any work done on Fake news detection for low resourse language like Hindi, Marathi etc. For our project we are manually creating a Fake news/misinformation detection dataset in Hindi language. We will create many fake news detection models specifically for Devanagri script, which could be used by other researchers as baselines and help in improving the task of fake news detection in low resource languages
