In a world filled with fake news and alternative facts, get the realy deep sources to your information.
DeepCite is an algorithm which takes in articles and returns not just the citations the article gives but also the citations which those articles give. This then produces a tree of citations. The algorithm will also return the paragraph where the infomation originates. This allows the user to easily trace back otherwise difficult to find source and quickly figure out how reliable a piece of information actually is.
It works by finding citation and then identifying the object that citation is referencing. Then it identifies where that object is mentioned in the cited article and repeats the process. If that object is based on multiple citations, as might be the case in an academic paper citing an algorithm, then the algorithm attempts to get the most relevant citations and trace back those.
Our hope is that eventually we will be able to weight the returned citations by relevance and automatically create citations based on the information given in an article.
