Abstract
A credibility scoring system produces a multi-dimensional entity credibility score that is derived from multiple dimensional component scores. The credibility scoring system derives each dimensional component score from a different set of credibility data pertaining to different dimensional aspect of overall credibility. The different dimensional aspects factoring into the overall credibility determination include a stability dimension, transparency dimension, trustworthiness dimension, and sentiment dimension.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for providing a multi-dimensional presentation of entity credibility, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- with at least one machine operating using a processor:
- aggregating from a plurality of data sources, a plurality of credibility data directed to a particular entity;
- grouping the plurality of credibility data to at least a first group and a second group, said first group comprising a first subset of the plurality of credibility data that is directed to a first credibility dimension and said second group comprising a second different subset of the plurality of credibility data that is directed to a second different credibility dimension;
- computing a first score quantifying the first credibility dimension using the first subset of the credibility data;
- computing a second score quantifying the second credibility dimension using the second subset of the credibility data;
- and
- producing an overall credibility score for the particular entity from the first score and the second score.
A computer-implemented method for generating a multi-dimensional credibility score, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- with at least one machine operating using a processor:
- compiling a first set of credibility data directed to a particular entity and further directed to a first credibility dimension of a plurality of credibility dimensions from any of a plurality of data sources;
- compiling a second set of credibility data directed to the particular entity and further directed to a second credibility dimension of the plurality of credibility dimensions from any of the plurality of data sources;
- deriving a credibility score for the particular entity from the first and second sets of credibility data;
- and
- presenting the credibility score in response to an inquiry about the particular entity's credibility.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein the program instructs a processor to perform sets of instructions for:
- compiling a first set of credibility data directed to a particular entity and further directed to a first credibility dimension of a plurality of credibility dimensions;
- compiling a second set of credibility data directed to the particular entity and further directed to a second credibility dimension of the plurality of credibility dimensions;
- and
- generating a credibility report comprising (i) a first section presenting the first credibility dimension with a first score and the first set of credibility data from which the first score is derived, (ii) a second section presenting the second credibility dimension with a second score and the second set of credibility data from which the second score is derived, and (iii) a third section presenting overall credibility of the particular entity as a third score derived in part from first and second scores.
