Abstract:
E-mail systems and online social media platforms are ideal places for news dissemination, but a serious problem is the spread of fraudulent news headlines. The previous method of detecting fraudulent news headlines was mainly laborious manual review. While the total number of news headlines goes as high as 1.48 million, manual review becomes practically infeasible. For news headline text data, attention mechanism has powerful processing capability. In this paper, we propose the models based on LSTM and attention layer, which fit the context of news headlines efficiently and can detect fraudulent news headlines quickly and accurately. Based on multi-head attention mechanism eschewing recurrent unit and reducing sequential computation, we build Mini-Transformer Deep Learning model to further improve the classification performance.

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
