Claimspotting

A web-based tool that helps fact-checkers analyse online content on the Telegram news platform.

Search for semantically identical texts

Please note

The search results are posts that are semantically identical to the query text. Even minor adjustments in the query text can impact the search results.

It is therefore a good idea to start with a query text that uses similar words and sentence structures as what you would expect on Telegram. If this approach does not deliver good results, alter the query text and work your way up.

Details on the method

The query text is matched against a database of Telegram posts. The matching is based on vector embeddings. This is different from a keyword search in that it does not require exact word matches. The search results can, for example, contain synonyms or paraphrases.
