Predicting if the article is real or fake
CNNs are most well-known for solving Computer Vision problems because they can reliably detect patterns in images.
We embed the text in a way that maps related words to "nearby" vectors. Then, articles that stay on topic tend to span a particular region.
The CNN can recognize patterns in the embeddings like how it would recognize edges or shapes in images. It uses the patterns to detect if the article is real!
