Abstract
A fact checking system is able to verify the correctness of information and/or characterize information by comparing the information with one or more sources. The fact checking system automatically monitors, processes, fact checks information and indicates a status of the information. The sources used for fact checking are able to be rated.
Claims20
A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
- a. classifying a first source in a classification;
- b. comparing the first source with one or more second sources;
- and
- c. computing a reliability rating of the first source based on the classification of the first source and the comparison of the first source with the one or more second sources, wherein the reliability rating is used for fact checking information.

A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
- a. parsing a first source into parsed segments for fact checking information;
- b. comparing the parsed segments with one or more second sources;
- and
- c. computing a reliability rating for the first source based on a classification value of the first source and the comparison of the parsed segments with the one or more second sources, wherein computing the reliability rating includes adding or subtracting points to the classification value based on the comparison of the parsed segments with the one or more second sources, further wherein the reliability rating is used for fact checking the information.
1 more element
A device comprising:
- a. a memory for storing an application for automatically performing:
- i. parsing a first source into parsed segments;
- ii. comparing the parsed segments with one or more second sources;
- and
- iii. computing a reliability rating for the first source based on a classification value of the first source and the comparison of the parsed segments with the one or more second sources, wherein computing the reliability rating includes adding or subtracting points to the classification value based on the comparison of the parsed segments with the one or more second sources, wherein if a number of parsed segments verified as accurate is above a first threshold, then points are added to the classification value, and if the number of parsed segments verified as inaccurate is above a second threshold, then points are subtracted from the classification value, further wherein the reliability rating is used for fact checking information;
- and
- b. a processor for processing the application.
