The goals of the project are broadly to combat the fake news epidemic that has affected the world today More specifically, we are working on several sub problems including:
A fact checker that accepts text (articles) and images, and checks them against
1. A predefined set of India focused fact checking sites such as check4spam.com, and boomlive.com; more such sites are being added. Since we need to match potentially long articles, along with image matching, and these features are not supported by web search engines, we crawl these sites regularly and perform search on our server on the crawled data.
2. A predefined set of (relatively trusted) news sites such as Times of India and The Hindu, to see if the article being fact checked has appeared on one of these sites, which can then be labeled as (relatively) trustworthy.
3. If an article/image does not match either of the above cases, we have a few automated checks that we carry out. A long term research goal of the project is to do more on this front, but currently it is limited. For example, we wish to check against a set of sites known to be biased on a particular topic (say politics), and tell the user that a forward appears on such a site, and they should dig deeper and not necessarily accept it as is.
