Malayalam Fake News Detector (MuRIL)
This repository contains a fine-tuned MuRIL (Multilingual Representations for Indian Languages) model for Malayalam Fake News Detection.
Model Description
The model classifies Malayalam news articles into:
- REAL
- FAKE
It was fine-tuned using a curated dataset consisting of public Malayalam news data and carefully generated synthetic examples for fake news detection.
Usage
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
MODEL_ID = "manasyy/malayalam-fake-news-detector-muril"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
Intended Use
This model is intended for:
- Malayalam fake news detection
- NLP research
- Academic projects
- Fact verification pipelines
Limitations
- The model predicts whether text resembles fake or real news but should not be considered a substitute for evidence-based fact checking.
- Performance depends on the quality and diversity of the training data.
- Real-time claims should still be verified against reliable news sources.
