Automatic identification of fact check factors

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that facilitate automatic identification of a set of fact-check factors from digital documents. Digital documents can be identified from a plurality of sources. For each digital document, a set of fact check factors are identified using a trained sequence tagging model. Based on the sequence tagging model, a confidence value representing a likelihood that the set of fact check factors identified from the digital document are an actual set of fact check factors for the digital document is determined. The set of fact check factors is stored in association with the digital document. A request for fact check factors for a particular digital document among the digital documents is received from a fact checking entity. In response, the set of fact check factors identified from the particular digital document are provided to the fact checking entity.
