A detector that uses X/Twitter API to get the text of posts, and put them through a machine learning model to see the legitimacy of the post

Helps people not fall for ragebait ;)

This is my first project on Flavortown. I’m excited to share my progress!

New updates!

  • Used X’s API to use twitter links instead of tweet text for a more convenient classification
  • Now predictions show confidence, however new tweets are uncertain (in the images)
  • Used Logistic Regression instead of Naive Bayes (Works a lot better by ~2% on accuracy and precision, and ~3% on F1 score and recall)
    To work on:
  • I have settled on Logistic Regression, changing models will not do too much, and I am better off fine tuning the model for better classification on newer posts (Anything remotely political is classified as misinformation 😭)
  • Obviously work on the website, I have put off on this for a while
    Also pray for a miracle on my report cards im lowkey cooked lol

I’ve been slacking off a bit due to midterms, but I am back! Today I added the integration to a frontend. And I realized Naive Bayes doesn’t work too well for classifying Twitter/X posts. These two classifications were cherrypicked.

Next:

  • Try different models like Logistic Regression
  • Improve frontend
  • Integrate X/Twitter API so users can send links instead of the tweet text

Happy new year everyone! I finally found a dataset for my naive bayes model, however it is performing considerably worse. Idk if I will switch to something like logistic regression or smth, but for now I have it on flask

Worked on preprocessing the tweets for the first day, and I am currently researching how the Multinomial Naive Bayes model works
