Current Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Below are current CJC research opportunities available to undergraduate students for 2025 Summer and Fall Semesters.
AI News and Fake News Detection Mode
We are developing an innovative framework to tackle the growing problem of fake news and its impact on society. By integrating the expertise of both journalism and computer science, our approach focuses on analyzing and generating fake news articles. Our framework aims to uncover key patterns and dynamics within fake news narratives, offering deep insights into the structure and spread of misinformation. Through this work, we are providing a resource for improving detection algorithms and helping policymakers and platforms combat disinformation more effectively. This research is crucial for understanding the evolving nature of fake news and creating strategies to mitigate its harmful effects on democracy and journalism.
