## 🚀 Usage Guide
### Basic Implementation
```python
from news_detector import NewsDetector
# Initialize detector
detector = NewsDetector()
# Single article verification
news_text = "Breaking news article text here..."
result = detector.verify(news_text)
print(f"Credibility Score: {result['score']}")
print(f"Classification: {result['label']}")
# Batch processing
articles = ["Article 1...", "Article 2...", "Article 3..."]
results = detector.verify_batch(articles)
```
### Advanced Usage
```python
# Custom model training
detector.train(
training_data="data/labeled_news.csv",
test_size=0.2,
random_state=42
)
# Model persistence
detector.save_models("models/")
detector.load_models("models/")
# Generate analysis report
detector.generate_report("reports/analysis_report.pdf")
```
