Patent Images
1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
- a. automatically analyzing target information;
b. automatically parsing the target information into segments;
c. automatically fact checking only randomly selected segments of the target information by comparing the randomly selected segments of 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 randomly selected segments 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; and
iii. 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;
d. utilizing a plurality of fact checking implementations initially, wherein each fact checking implementation utilizes a different set of source information, and comparing results of each fact checking implementation, and iteratively eliminating any fact checking implementations of the plurality of fact checking implementations with a confidence score below a threshold until two fact checking implementations remain and are used in a continuous, competitive fact checking implementation wherein the results of the two remaining fact checking implementations are compared to determine a final fact check result; and
e. 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.
