Topological data analysis helps to improve accuracy of deep learning models for fake news detection trained on very small training sets

Topological data analysis has recently found applications in various areas of science, such as computer vision and understanding of protein folding. However, applications of topological data analysis to natural language processing remain under-researched. This study applies topological data analysis...

description Topological data analysis has recently found applications in various areas of science, such as computer vision and understanding of protein folding. However, applications of topological data analysis to natural language processing remain under-researched. This study applies topological data analysis to a particular natural language processing task: fake news detection. We have found that deep learning models are more accurate in this task than topological data analysis.
