SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF FOR GENERATING BELIEVABILITY SCORES OF STATEMENTS IN ELECTRONIC DISCUSSIONS

1 . A method for generating believability scores of statements in electronic discussions, comprising:

receiving a first statement, wherein the first statement is at least a portion of an electronic discussion;

receiving a first reference input for the first statement, wherein the first reference input is one of a supporting reference input for the first statement and an opposing reference input for the first statement;

extracting, from a log file, a first metadata of a first user associated with the first reference input;

analyzing the received first reference input using the extracted first metadata and at least a first predetermined rule; and

generating, based on the analysis, a first believability score of the first statement.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

extracting a second believability score of at least one of: the first reference input and a second statement of the electronic discussion;

analyzing the first believability score and the second believability score with at least a second predetermined rule; and

adjusting at least one of the first believability score and the second believability score based on the result of the analysis.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

performing display optimization of a plurality of statements and a plurality of reference inputs based on at least the first believability score and the second believability score.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein adjusting the first believability score and the second believability score, further comprises:

extracting the second believability score; and

analyzing the first believability score and the second believability score based on second predetermined rule.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

continuously adjusting the first believability score and the second believability score as new inputs are received.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the second believability score is associated with at least one of: the first reference input and the second statement of the electronic discussion.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first metadata is at least one of: a user believability score, a user topic-based believability score, and a relationship between the at least a first user and at least a second user providing a second reference input of the electronic discussion.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first reference input is a vote provided by the first user.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least a first statement is at least one of: a textual statement, a visual statement, a link.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to execute a process, the process comprising:

receiving a first statement, wherein the first statement is at least a portion of an electronic discussion;

receiving a first reference input for the first statement, wherein the first reference input is one of a supporting reference input for the first statement and an opposing reference input for the first statement;

extracting, from a log file, a first metadata of a first user associated with the first reference input;

analyzing the received first reference input using the extracted first metadata and at least a first predetermined rule; and

generating, based on the analysis, a first believability score of the first statement.

11 . A system for generating believability scores of statements in electronic discussions, comprising:

a processing circuitry; and

a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:

receive a first statement, wherein the first statement is at least a portion of an electronic discussion;

receive a first reference input for the first statement, wherein the first reference input is one of a supporting reference input for the first statement and an opposing reference input for the first statement;

extract, from a log file, a first metadata of a first user associated with the first reference input;

analyze the received first reference input using the extracted first metadata and at least a first predetermined rule; and

generate, based on the analysis, a first believability score of the first statement.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:

extract a second believability score of at least one of: the first reference input and a second statement of the electronic discussion;

analyze the first believability score and the second believability score with at least a second predetermined rule; and

adjust at least one of the first believability score and the second believability score based on the result of the analysis.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the system is further configured to:

perform display optimization of a plurality of statements and a plurality of reference inputs based on at least the first believability score and the second believability score.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the system is further configured to:

extract the second believability score; and

analyze the first believability score and the second believability score based on second predetermined rule.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the system is further configured to:

continuously adjust the first believability score and the second believability score as new inputs are received.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the second believability score is associated with at least one of: the first reference input and the second statement of the electronic discussion.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the first metadata is at least one of: a user believability score, a user topic-based believability score, and a relationship between the at least a first user and at least a second user providing a second reference input of the electronic discussion.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the first reference input is a vote provided by the first user.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least a first statement is at least one of: a textual statement, a visual statement, a link.
