	### Dataset Summary

	This is a corpus of Bulgarian news over a fixed period of time, whose factuality had been questioned.
	The news come from 377 different sources from various domains, including politics, interesting facts and tips&tricks.

	The dataset was prepared for the Hack the
	Fake News hackathon. It was provided by the
	[Bulgarian Association of PR Agencies](http://www.bapra.bg/) and is
	available in [Gitlab](https://gitlab.com/datasciencesociety/).

	The corpus was automatically collected, and then annotated by students of journalism.

	The training dataset contains 2,815 examples, where 1,940 (i.e., 69%) are fake news
	and 1,968 (i.e., 70%) are click-baits; There are 761 testing examples.

	There is 98% correlation between fake news and clickbaits.

	One important aspect about the training dataset is that it contains many repetitions.
	This should not be surprising as it attempts to represent a natural distribution of factual
	vs. fake news on-line over a period of time. As publishers of fake news often have a group of
	websites that feature the same deceiving content, we should expect some repetition.
	In particular, the training dataset contains
	434 unique articles with duplicates. These articles have three reposts each on average, with
	the most reposted article appearing 45 times.
	If we take into account the labels of the reposted articles, we can see that if an article
	is reposted, it is more likely to be fake news.
	The number of fake news that have a duplicate in the training dataset are 1018 whereas,
	the number of articles with genuine content
	that have a duplicate article in the training set is 322.

	(The dataset description is from the following [paper](https://www.acl-bg.org/proceedings/2017/RANLP%202017/pdf/RANLP045.pdf).)
