In online media, there is legit news as well as fake news. While the former is usually of higher quality, the latter is often associated with low-quality writing. Several Machine Learning models focus on classifying these two in the scientific literature. Moreover, in the scientific literature itself, there are lower and higher-quality publications as well. 

The student's task is to get familiar with these models and experiment with their applicability to differentiate non-peer-reviewed scientific papers (e.g., on ArXiv) from articles that appeared in well-established venues (such as S&P, CCS, etc.).
