Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for verification scoring and automated fact checking. More particularly, the present invention relates to a combination of automated and assisted fact checking techniques to provide a verification score. According to a first aspect, there is a method of verifying input data, comprising the steps of: receiving one or more items of input data; determining one or more pieces of information to be verified from the or each item of input data; determining which of the one or more pieces of information are to be verified automatically and which of the one or more pieces of information require manual verification; determining an automated score indicative of the accuracy of the at least one piece of information which is to be verified automatically; and generating a combined verification score which gives a measure of confidence of the accuracy of the information which forms the or each item of input data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for verification scoring and automated fact checking. More particularly, the present invention relates to assisted fact checking techniques which can also be used to create training data for a system to automatically verify facts/statements. According to a first aspect, there is a method of verifying content by performing semantic parsing, the method comprising the steps of: receiving one or more pieces of content; performing semantic parsing on the one or more pieces of content; identifying one or more semantic components as textual and/or numerical claims to be verified; obtaining one or more databases comprising information corresponding to the textual and/or numerical claims to be verified; generating a logical form for the textual and/or numerical claims whereby the logical form relates to a corresponding query of the one or more databases; and providing a verification output in dependence upon comparing data from the one or more databases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for verification scoring and/or automated fact checking. More particularly, the present invention relates to automated content scoring based upon an ensemble of algorithms and/or automated fact checking, for example in relation to online journalistic articles, user generated content, blog posts, and user generated comments. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a method of generating a content score for journalistic and other media content, provided with clear protocols and schemata in place and a verifiable method for the reasoning behind the score for such content.
