1. A method comprising:
- a. monitoring target information with a plurality of devices;
b. automatically fact checking the target information by comparing the target information with source information to generate a result; 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 comparing includes at least one of;
i. searching for an exact match of the target information in the source information and returning the 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; and
wherein searching for the exact match begins searching the source information located on a fastest access time hardware device and continues to slower access time hardware devices;
wherein utilizing pattern matching begins utilizing the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device and continues to the slower access time hardware devices; and
wherein the natural language search begins searching the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device and continues to the slower access time hardware devices;
wherein searching for the exact match begins searching the source information classified by a plurality of keywords found in the target information, then using the source information classified by a single keyword found in the target information, and then using the source information classified by keywords related to the keywords found in the target information;
wherein utilizing pattern matching begins utilizing the source information classified by the plurality of keywords found in the target information, then using the source information classified by the single keyword found in the target information, and then using the source information classified by the keywords related to the keywords found in the target information; and
wherein the natural language search begins searching the source information classified by the plurality of keywords found in the target information, then using the source information classified by the single keyword found in the target information, and then using the source information classified by the keywords related to the keywords found in the target information.
