Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "Arko007/fact-check1-v1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Example prediction function
def predict_fake_news(text):
    inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=512)
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
        probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)
        prediction = torch.argmax(probabilities, dim=-1).item()

    labels = {0: "REAL", 1: "FAKE"}
    confidence = probabilities[0][prediction].item()

    return {
        "prediction": labels[prediction],
        "confidence": confidence,
        "probabilities": {
            "REAL": probabilities[0][0].item(),
            "FAKE": probabilities[0][1].item()
        }
    }

# Test the model
text = "Breaking: Scientists discover new planet in our solar system!"
result = predict_fake_news(text)
print(f"Prediction: {result['prediction']} ({result['confidence']:.2%} confidence)")

Model Performance

This model achieves research-grade performance on fake news detection, with near-perfect accuracy across all metrics. The high precision and recall indicate excellent balance between catching fake news while avoiding false positives on real news.

Limitations and Bias

• Trained primarily on English news articles
• Performance may vary on news domains not represented in training data
• May reflect biases present in the source datasets
• Designed for binary classification (fake vs real) only
