Estimating article publication dates and authors based on social media context

摘要

Probable origination date may be derived by using a stream of data captured, for example, from the Internet and from other documentation sources such as historical information about a target object, its author, related environmental data, social media data, blogs, microblogs, posts, historical information, and/or other data sources. Techniques such as textual analysis, statistical analytics, and/or artificial intelligence may combine and correlate the information from data sources to extract clues that may indicate the original author and date of authorship. Based on the number of conflicting or validating references, and the relationships between them, a probability or confidence score in the accuracy of the analysis may be generated.
