Broadcasting Real news through smart contract

Basic idea is similar to a project by IBM. They are using machine learning to detect fake news and then they use Blockchain to broadcast it.

The problem Broadcasting Real news through smart contract solves

  1. Each verified news will have a NFT token to verify its authenticity. In case we discover later that the news is fake, we can delete the nft token to mark it invalid.
  2. The token is like a stamp of authentication. In Blockchain, everything is stored permanently.
  3. We will be using machine learning to detect fake news and then they use Blockchain to broadcast it through Blockchain (in their case Hyperledger Fabric)

We will do similar to that. Except we will use Matric for that .

Challenges we ran into

The primal challenge remained the lack of experience in the particular domains. We all are beginners in this field. And due to the formation of teams virtually, we had problems in coordinating sometimes.

The main challenge imo, was to work with Machine Learning. Having minimal knowledge, it is getting difficult to prepare the model. The work is still on the way.
