In the effort to tackle the challenge of Hyperpartisan News Detection, i. e., the task of deciding whether a news article is biased towards one party, faction, cause, or person, we experimented with two systems: i) a standard supervised learning approach using superficial text and bag-of-words features from the article title and body, and ii) a deep learning system comprising a four-layer convolutional neural network and max-pooling layers after the embedding layer, feeding the consolidated features to a bi-directional recurrent neural network.

The detector is based almost exclusively on text-based features taken from previous work on clickbait detection, our own work on fake post detection, and features we designed specifically for the challenge.
