Multiple implementation fact checking method and system

摘要

An efficient fact checking system analyzes and determines the factual accuracy of information and/or characterizes the information by comparing the information with source information. The efficient fact checking system automatically monitors information, processes the information, fact checks the information efficiently and/or provides a status of the information.

1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
a. automatically analyzing target information; b. automatically fact checking, with the device, the target information by comparing the target information with source information to generate a result, wherein comparing includes at least one of:
i. searching for an exact match of the target information in the source information and returning the exact match search result of the exact match search if the exact match is found;ii. utilizing pattern matching for fact checking and returning the result of the pattern matching fact check if a pattern matching result confidence score is above a pattern matching result confidence threshold; andiii. utilizing a natural language search for fact checking and returning the result of the natural language fact check if a natural language result confidence score is above a natural language result confidence threshold,wherein fact checking includes: utilizing a plurality of fact checking implementations initially, wherein each fact checking implementation utilizes a different set of source information for fact checking, and comparing separate results of each fact checking implementation, and iteratively eliminating a fact checking implementation of the plurality of fact checking implementations with a lowest confidence score until a single fact checking implementation remains; and c. automatically presenting a status of the target information in real-time based on the result of the comparison of the target information with the source information,wherein searching for the exact match begins searching the source information located in a designated fact checking database, then goes to a broader set of source information, and repeatedly goes to broader sets of source information until a broadest source information set has been exhausted;
wherein utilizing pattern matching begins utilizing the source information located in the designated fact checking database, then goes to the broader set of source information, and repeatedly goes to broader sets of source information until the broadest source information set has been exhausted; and wherein the natural language search begins searching the source information located in the designated fact checking database, then goes to the broader set of source information, and repeatedly goes to broader sets of source information until the broadest source information set has been exhausted.
