Fakebook: Using Data Science to Spot Fake News
As fake news permeates throughout social media outlets (like Facebook), it's more important than ever to identify what is fact vs. fiction. This is especially true in the age of COVID where the spread of misinformation can impact the spread of the virus. Data scientists are emerging on the front lines of this fight, using programs to help them identify fake news sources. Led by Dr. Teon Brooks, Josh Modeste, and Steven Azeka from the Gotham Data Clinic (fka CiELabs), this workshop will explore the “life cycle” of scientific research and how scientists come to consensus about how we interpret data. We’ll examine what to look for in credible news sources, and the consequences of leaning on not-so-trusty pseudoscientific sources. Then you’ll put that knowledge to work by developing a rubric for identifying fake news.
