The given dataset consists of two files:

• train.csv (for training)
• test.csv (for testing)

This is a challenge based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the participants will have to account for missing data, inconsistent formats accordingly.

Submission Guidelines

The given dataset includes two files:

A. train.csv (training file)

There are 40,000 rows for training having 6 attributes:

• index
• title
• text
• subject
• date
• class (target attribute)

The task is to train a model and predict the news categories for row samples given in "test.csv"

B. test.csv (test file)

There are 4000 data samples in test.csv with following attributes:

• index
• title
• text
• subject
• date

The trained model should output one of the two classes "Fake" or "Real". The given text of news may have non-alphabetic values and some missing data, the participant will have to process the data accordingly.

The final submission must include:

output.csv (single file having results for "test.csv" which contains 4000 samples of data )
