Combined with the Seekr Score and Political Lean Indicator, consumers, businesses and newsrooms now have valuable tools that generate efficiencies for extracting quotes amidst an explosion of information.
VIENNA, Va., Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Seekr, an internet technology, and content evaluation company, today announced the launch of Direct Quotess, an automated first-of-its-kind quote detector, which provides people an additional layer of clarity and context and newsrooms with automated efficiencies for quote detection.
"Given the rise of misinformation, we all could benefit from better tools to evaluate content in context, which includes determining exactly what someone said," said Pat Condo, Seekr CEO and founder. "We are living in a chaotic and unaccountable online environment, and Seekr is on a mission to change it. We believe the need for people to have access to reliable information has never been greater."
Available now at Seekr.com in beta, Direct Quotes detects quotes, claims and assertions, including attribution. Future versions of Direct Quotes will leverage Seekr's AI and NLP (Natural Language Processing) models to identify and extract additional data such as places, organizations, sentiments, topics, and more. It will also include a searchable database and the ability to visualize quotes made on topics over time.
Historically, quote detection has been a labor-intensive and inexact process, especially for journalists and researchers who seek to confirm past quotes and comments that are on the record. Direct Quotes goes beyond the limitations of traditional or manual methods for searching for quotes. Ultimately, Direct Quotes may reduce the labor hours required to find and search for quotes, which equates to cost savings for content creators and newsrooms. The new feature will ultimately be offered to help news organizations and other consumers ensure they accurately share and attribute quotes.
Powered by AI, Seekr offers a transparent search engine that reimagines what news results can look like when they are free of manipulation. Seekr's algorithm sifts through the avalanche of daily news stories and offers a clear, concise score — the Seekr Score — on every article, which allows readers to filter out content that doesn't meet their desired threshold of quality.
According to November 2019 research conducted by University of Baltimore economist Professor Roberto Cavazos and AI and cybersecurity company, CHEQ, fake news articles spread online account for an economic loss of approximately $78 billion annually. "We foresee a future where Seekr tools, such as the Seekr Score, can be applied in multiple industries to aid society in mitigating the risks associated with misleading information," added Condo.
