FakeTastic is a web browser game in which players guess whether or not they think tweets are real or fake. First, players select a tweet hashtag and then they are able to place their guesses for a set of 10 tweets. We mark responses as correct or incorrect and show the player immediately.
Clone the server directory.
git clone https://github.com/faketastic/server.git
Enter the server directory.
cd server
Activate your virtual environment and then pip install requirements.
pip install -r requirements.txt Run server.py.
python server.pyNow you can access the application in your browser, navigate to localhost:8111.
For now, #charliehebdo is the only topic populated with tweets, so go ahead and select it and then click View.
Now you can see the text from ten tweets from the hashtag #ferguson.
Which do you think are fake? Go ahead and mark those that don't seem real.
When you've made your guesses, click submit to have your responses scored.
The Grade column displays a check for each correct response. The Prediction Confidence column displays the predicted probabilities from our model - the fuller the bar, the more confident we are of our prediction. A red bar corresponds to a fake tweet and a green corresponds to a not fake tweet.
Responses are stored in our database, for user analytics and for retraining a yet to be implemented fake tweet detection machine learning model.
