Abstract: One potential research problem related to clickbait data could be to investigate the impact of clickbait headlines on news consumption and perception of news credibility. The objective of using Machine Learning (ML) models to analyze clickbait data in this work is to determine an accurate model for identifying and classifying clickbait headlines, understand the features that make them successful, evaluate the model's performance in real-world scenarios, and compare the performance of different ML models to select the best one for clickbait classification. By achieving these objectives, the research could provide valuable insights into the mechanisms behind clickbait and the effectiveness of ML models in detecting and mitigating its impact. This research could inform the development of more effective algorithms and tools for combating clickbait and improving news literacy. The suggested methodology for detecting clickbait using machine learning involves collecting a large amount of clickbait and non-clickbait headlines, pre-processing and cleaning the data, identifying and extracting relevant features, selecting an appropriate ML algorithm, training and evaluating the model, making necessary adjustments, and deploying the final model in a production environment to detect clickbait in real-world data. The specific steps and details may vary depending on the task complexity and data availability.
