SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLAIM VERIFICATION

Abstract:

Claim verification is facilitated by identifying a selection of textual content within a user interface, accessing a claim detection module, inputting the textual content into the claim detection module to detect one or more claims within the selection of textual content, accessing an evidence extraction module, using the evidence extraction module to automatically search one or more reference repositories for one or more related references that have content that is related to the detected one or more claims, automatically determining whether the content in the one or more related references supports or refutes the one or more claims using a claim verification module, and, in response to determining a set of references of the one or more related references supports or refutes the one or more claims, presenting a support indicator or a refute indicator within the user interface in association with the one or more claims.
