| # Unreliable News Classifier (English) | |
| Trained, validate, and tested using a subset of the NELA-GT-2018 dataset. The dataset is split such that there was no overlap in of news sources between the three sets. | |
| This model used the pre-trained weights of `distilbert-base-cased` as starting point (only 4 layers) and was able to achieve 84% accuracy on the test set. It has less than 1% difference in performance compared to the BERT based model while having **2.0x** the speed. | |
