Developed by researchers at the University of Oxford , is an algorithm that can analyze a written text and reveal the sincerity
POLITICAL , business people, faithless and liars of the world, you have no chance. There is a new lie ready to smascherarvi. WHAT THEY SAY is called, and is a software developed by a spin-off of the University of Oxford, who, taking advantage of a number of linguistic and semiotic analysis algorithms, is able to “measure” the levels of humor, sarcasm and, precisely, sincerity of a text written by a human being.
unveiled a few weeks ago during the Sentiment Analysis Symposium, a conference held in New York, WHAT THEY SAY promises, in reality, much more. According to explain the inventors of the algorithm, coordinated by Karo Moilanen, the software is a so-called social media sentiment analysis tool, that is, a tool to quantitatively analyze the emotional content of the texts published on social networks. Able to estimate, based on the assessment of the balance between hyperbole, sarcasm, use of imagery, readability and plausibility of the events described, the overall level of “likelihood” of a text.
Software was tested on a sample of one million texts published on the occasion of the general elections of the United Kingdom in 2015. In particular, the team of Moilanen has been monitoring the “sincerity” of four political figures English: “Not surprisingly,” the authors explain, “the system has revealed high levels of verbosity, ambiguity, obscurity and irrelevance in the texts of the politicians, who were classified on the whole as moderately highly unlikely.” In line with the view that politicians tend to be brought to “make economy of truth”.
Among the possible applications of the software, the researchers explain that could be used, for example, to monitor the company announcements and information of those investors, moderating posts and comments on social networks, keep track of the spread of false information and hoaxes online. “Thanks to our linguistic processing technology, we have developed a method to estimate the likelihood in the lyrics,” concludes Molainen, “measuring complex signals, both linguistic and extra-linguistic, that can be used to check the reliability of statements, measure clarity of the text and detect contradictions, sarcasm, exaggeration and misleading constructs “. You are all warned.
