Research Intern — Society for Data Science (Misinformation research and model evaluation)
Conducted research using advanced ML to study and detect misinformation in large news text corpora. Built and evaluated models for misinformation detection to identify patterns indicating fake news from article text. The work included quantitative model evaluation and contributions to an IEEE conference publication.• Analyzed text datasets of 21,000+ news articles to extract indicators of fake news.• Developed and evaluated models including ColBERT and SVM for misinformation detection.• Optimized performance using Matthew’s Correlation Coefficient and other metrics.• Co-authored and contributed to an IEEE conference paper related to misinformation datasets.
