Each episode of The Data Science Podcast with Fexingo is a grounded, specific conversation about a single analytics problem or machine-learning method — from regularization in regression to the bias-variance trade-off in random forests. Lucas leads with a journalistic eye for how models are built and tested in the real world, citing actual case studies like how Netflix used matrix factorization for recommendations or how healthcare researchers apply survival analysis to clinical trials. Luna keeps the discussion honest, asking about data quality, feature engineering pitfalls, and whether a model’s accuracy actually translates to business value. They never resort to buzzwords: instead, they walk through the workflow from data collection to deployment, discussing trade-offs like interpretability versus performance. The show serves data scientists, analysts, and engineers who want to stay sharp on methods without the hype. Listeners walk away with a clearer understanding of why one algorithm beats another on a gi…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T08:17:23.323447+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-data-science-podcast-with-fexingo-analytics-machine-learning-and-data-driven-conversations-7871831"},"episode":{"title":"How Data Scientists Use NLP to Detect Misinformation","slug":"how-data-scientists-use-nlp-to-detect-misinformation","published_at":"2026-06-12T20:20:25+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-data-science-podcast-with-fexingo-analytics-machine-learning-and-data-driven-conversations-7871831/how-data-scientists-use-nlp-to-detect-misinformation","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-data-science-podcast-with-fexingo-analytics-machine-learning-and-data-driven-conversations-7871831","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-data-science-podcast/episode-0047.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-data-science-podcast/episode-0047.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the growing role of natural language processing in detecting online misinformation. They explore a specific case study: how DataGPT, a startup, built a fact-checking bot that flags false claims in real-time on social media. Lucas breaks down the technical stack — transformer models like BERT fine-tuned on fact-checking datasets, with a focus on stance detection and claim verification. Luna questions the reliability of automated fact-checking and raises the issue of adversarial attacks on NLP models. They discuss the 2024 US election as a major test case, where the bot achieved 83% accuracy. The episode also touches on the ethical trade-offs: is automated fact-checking effective or does it risk censorship? #NaturalLanguageProcessing #Misinformation #FactChecking #DataGPT #BERT #TransformerModels #StanceDetection #ClaimVerification #2024Election #AIEthics #TechEthics #AdversarialAttacks #SocialMedia #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DataScience #MachineLearning Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the growing role of natural language processing in detecting online misinformation.
