Web-based Application for Detecting Indonesian Clickbait Headlines using IndoBERT

Muhammad Noor Fakhruzzaman, Sie Wildan Gunawan

With increasing usage of clickbaits in Indonesian Online News, newsworthy articles sometimes get buried among clickbaity news. A reliable and lightweight tool is needed to detect such clickbaits on-the-go. Leveraging state-of-the-art natural language processing model BERT, a RESTful API based application is developed. This study offloaded the computing resources needed to train the model on the cloud server, while the client-side application only needs to send a request to the API and the cloud server will handle the rest. This study proposed the design and developed a web-based application to detect clickbait in Indonesian using IndoBERT as a language model. The application usage is discussed and available for public use with a performance of mean ROC-AUC of 89%.
