parameter optimization to increase the
performance of logistic retrogression which
also gave us the delicacy of 75. Hence, we can
say that if a stoner feed a particular news
composition or its caption in our model, there
are 75 chances that it'll be classified to its true
nature.
The stoner can check the news composition or
keywords online; he can also check the
authenticity of the website. The delicacy for

every replication. We intent to make our own
dataset which will be kept up to date according
to the rearmost news. All the live news and
rearmost data will be kept in a database using
Web straggler and online database.
