摘要
Bizarre news items are those news items so strange and unusual that readers might question the claims presented in the news. This paper presents the first machine learning approach to bizarre news detection in online news media. We contribute by compiling the first bizarre news corpus of 23754 bizarre news headlines, and by developing a bizarre news detection model based on various syntactic and semantic features. We experiment with various machine learning techniques including deep learning methods, and find that a logistic regression classifier achieves an F1 score of 0.92 for the task.
