Abstract: 

Natural language processing is considered to be one of the most challenging part of Machine Learning. Importance of understanding the given text includes but not limited to sentiment analysis, information extraction, summarization. IN this training session, we will try to tackle one of the most important problem, Misinformation Detection.

The rising issue of fake news news has been widely studied recently. Its impact on politics, marketing ads etc. undeniable big and it is a very hard problem to solve. In this training session, we will learn about importance of the data, how to select the right data for the given problem, machine learning techniques, mainly focus on supervised classification methods, natural language processing, modeling, validation and some algorithms to grid search to tune your model.
