When we take a look at Wisconsin’s current total of registered voters, we see that there is nothing fraudulent about the state’s count."

  # distilroberta-base-finetuned-fake-news-english
  
  This model is a fine-tuned version of [distilroberta-base](https://huggingface.co/distilroberta-base) on the [fake-and-real news](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/clmentbisaillon/fake-and-real-news-dataset) dataset.
  It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
  - Loss: 0.0020
  - Accuracy: 0.9997
  - F1: 0.9997
  - Precision: 0.9994
  - Recall: 1.0
  - Auc: 0.9997
  
  ## Intended uses & limitations
  
  The model may not work with the articles over 512 tokens after preprocessing as the model's context is restricted to a maximum of 512 tokens in the sequence.
  
  ## Training and evaluation data
  
  The [fake-and-real news](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/clmentbisaillon/fake-and-real-news-dataset) dataset contains a total of 44,898 annotated articles with 21,417 real and 23,481 fake. The dataset was stratified split into train, validation, and test subsets with a proportion of 60:20:20 respectively. The model was fine-tuned on the train subset and evaluated on validation and test subsets.
