FacebookNews

Facebook's Fake news problem was solved by young students. The students are Nabanita De, a second year Masters in Computer Science student at UMass Amherst; Anant Goel freshmen in Purdue University; Mark Craft, a sophomore at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Catherine Craft, a sophomore at UIUC.Based on this two score the algorithm detects whether the new is real or fake. These students solve the problem within 36 hours. It is so awesome to here and the process of working is explained below. There are two processes where the first one will check with few database with the source of the article and a score will be given. The second process will checks whether other news companies have run the same story and create another score based on this.Based on this two score the algorithm detects whether the new is real or fake. This idea is really good and very soon it will be available for all the users in the facebook.Congrats to every student worked very h
