text: Online news media sometimes use misleading headlines to lure users to open the news article. These catchy headlines that attract users but disappointed them at the end, are called Clickbaits. Because of the importance of automatic clickbait detection in online medias, lots of machine learning methods were proposed and employed to find the clickbait headlines. In this research, a model using deep learning methods is proposed to find the clickbaits in Clickbait Challenge 2017's dataset. The proposed model gained the first rank in the Clickbait Challenge 2017 in terms of Mean Squared Error. Also, data analytics and visualization techniques are employed to explore and discover the provided dataset to get more insight from the data.
  @cite_1: This paper presents the results of our participation in the Clickbait Detection Challenge 2017. The system relies on a fusion of neural networks, incorporating different types of available informations. It does not require any linguistic preprocessing, and hence generalizes more easily to new domains and languages. The final combined model achieves a mean squared error of 0.0428, an accuracy of 0.826, and a F1 score of 0.564. According to the official evaluation metric the system ranked 6th of the 13 participating teams.
summary: In @cite_1 , another model was proposed using neural networks for the Clickbait Challenge 2017. In the text processing phase, they used whitespace tokenizer with lower casing and without using any domain specific processing such as Unicode normalization or any lexical text normalization. Then all the tokens were converted to the word embeddings which were then fed into LSTM units. The embedding vectors were initialized randomly. They employed batch normalization to normalize inputs to reduce internal covariate shift. Also, the risk of over-fitting was reduced through using dropout between individual neural network layers. At the end, individual networks are fused by concatenating the dense output layers of the individual networks which then were fed into a fully connected neural network.
