Project's Overview
Fake News Detection System Using Django and Machine Learning is a web-based final year project developed for classifying news as Real or Fake using a hybrid machine-learning pipeline. This major project allows users to register, log in, paste news text, submit article URLs, run fake news detection, view prediction labels, check confidence scores, review hybrid and per-model probabilities, access dashboard analytics, search detection history, delete own records, and generate visual reports. The system uses TF-IDF vectorization, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, NLTK preprocessing, and hybrid ensemble probability averaging for prediction. Staff users can view cross-user data, manage detection records, filter reports, and access extra staff-level analytics. Django admin provides complete management of prediction results. This fake news detection source code is suitable for students who need a final year project, major project, minor project, source code, and project report based on Django, Python, NLP, and machine learning.
