\textlessp\textgreaterThis service detects Fake News in a German text about COVID-19. It uses a \textlessa href="https://huggingface.co/bert-base-german-cased" target="_blank"\textgreaterGerman BERT model\textless/a\textgreater as binary text classifier. The result is given as a probability between 0 and 1: How likely is the information in that text to be reliable, without any Fake News?\textless/p\textgreater\textlessp\textgreaterThe model was trained on the \textlessa href="https://github.com/justusmattern/fang-covid" target="_blank"\textgreaterFANG-COVID dataset\textless/a\textgreater. The dataset contains 41,242 documents labeled as either real (68%) or fake (32%). The ground truth was derived from automatic annotation based on the publication platform of a text (newspapers, websites, etc.). The publication platforms were associated with global labels (real or fake) as introduced by independent organizations such as Correctiv or NewsGuard.\textless/p\textgreater
