The news credibility detection task has started to gain more attention recently due to the rapid increase of news on different social media platforms. This article provides a large, labeled, and diverse Arabic Fake News Dataset (AFND) that is collected from public Arabic news websites. This dataset enables the research community to use supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms to classify the credibility of Arabic news articles. AFND consists of 606912 public news articles that were scraped from 134 public news websites of 19 different Arab countries over a 6-month period using Python scripts. The Arabic fact-check platform, Misbar, is used manually to classify each public news source into credible, not credible, or undecided. Weak supervision is applied to label news articles with the same label as the public source. AFND is imbalanced in the number of articles in each class. Hence, it is useful for researchers who focus on finding solutions for imbalanced datasets. The dataset is available in JSON format and can be accessed from Mendeley Data repository.

Modeling these two aspects is crucial for accurate news recommendation. Most existing studies focused on capturing users' preferences towards news content, and thus they are limited in investigating in depth users' preferences towards news popularity and independently capturing user content and popularity preferences.

It is vital for extra-renal tissues, prenatal health, brain function, immunity, pregnancy, cancer prevention, and cardiovascular health. Existing guidelines issued by governmental and health organizations are bone-centric and largely overlook the abovementioned extra-skeletal benefits and optimal thresholds for vitamin D.
