This is my first project on Flavortown., Took this project for an Hackathon and successfully completed it. hope we get shortlisted for the third round.
the main purpose of the web app is to detect misinformation and rumors in the internet mainly focusing on news, social media posts.
how it works?
it works by scraping news from standard news websites like bbc, aljazeera, reuters , the hindu times, the times of india etc. scrapes them and stores them in a vector db.
fake news are taken from social media posts and verified with the real news based on similarity using deberta nlp model and rag based functioning for retrieving data from the database.
it also has a chatbot and a dashboard to show the analytics as well as some info regarding the items in the database
I mainly used gemini and chatgpt for debugging and i used deepseek for debugging the frontend
