Abstract
Information verification includes: presenting, to a plurality of independent verifiers, a verification task associated with a social media item obtained from a social media-based platform, the verification task being associated with an expected result; receiving, from the plurality of independent verifiers, a plurality of responses in response to the verification task; determining, using one or more computer processors, a verification result based at least in part on the plurality of responses; determining whether there is a disagreement between the verification result and the expected result; and in the event that there is a disagreement between the verification result and the expected result, performing an action in response to the disagreement.
Claims21
An information verification system, comprising:
- one or more processors to:
- present, to a plurality of independent verifiers, a verification task associated with a social media item obtained from a social media-based platform, the verification task being associated with an expected result;
- receive, from the plurality of independent verifiers, a plurality of responses in response to the verification task;
- determine a verification result based at least in part on the plurality of responses;
- determine whether there is a disagreement between the verification result and the expected result;
- and
- in the event that there is a disagreement between the verification result and the expected result, perform an action in response to the disagreement;
- and
- one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, to provide the one or more is processors with instructions.
A method of information verification, comprising:
- presenting, to a plurality of independent verifiers, a verification task associated with a social media item obtained from a social media-based platform, the verification task being associated with an expected result;
- receiving, from the plurality of independent verifiers, a plurality of responses in response to the verification task;
- determining, using one or more computer processors, a verification result based at least in part on the plurality of responses;
- determining whether there is a disagreement between the verification result and the expected result;
- and
- in the event that there is a disagreement between the verification result and the expected result, performing an action in response to the disagreement.
A computer program product for information verification, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- presenting, to a plurality of independent verifiers, a verification task associated with a social media item obtained from a social media-based platform, the verification task being associated with an expected result;
- receiving, from the plurality of independent verifiers, a plurality of responses in response to the verification task;
- determining, using one or more computer processors, a verification result based at least in part on the plurality of responses;
- determining whether there is a disagreement between the verification result and the expected result;
- and
- in the event that there is a disagreement between the verification result and the expected result, performing an action in response to the disagreement.
