# Coding challenge
The challenge involved building a fake news classifier using the huggingface library.

This final model is a fine-tuned version of [distilbert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-uncased) on an fake-and-real-news dataset. The link to the dataset is https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/clmentbisaillon/fake-and-real-news-dataset.

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.0000
- Accuracy: 1.0
- F1: 1.0
- Precision: 1.0
- Recall: 1.0

## Model description

Finetuned Distilbert
 
## Training and evaluation data

The training data was split into train-dev-test in the ratio 80-10-10.

## Training procedure
The title and text of each news story was concatenated to form each datapoint. Then a model was finetuned to perform single label classification on each datapoint. The final prediction is the class with the highest probability.


### Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:
- learning_rate: 5e-05
- train_batch_size: 16
- eval_batch_size: 16
- seed: 42
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: linear
- lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 500
- num_epochs: 3
