Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If verification information is automatically acquired using search methods, then the automation extent and productivity are improved, but the measurement precision and reliability of authenticity determination deteriorate due to inclusion of irrelevant information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component (verification information selection unit) that mediates between the automatically acquired verification information and the authenticity determination process. This intermediary filters and selects only relevant verification information based on relevance determination, preventing irrelevant information from affecting the accuracy of authenticity determination while maintaining automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the fact-checking process into distinct stages: acquisition of verification information, determination of relevance, selection of relevant information, and authenticity determination. This segmentation allows the system to handle automation at the acquisition stage while ensuring precision at the determination stage through selective processing of relevant information.
2Productivity
If all acquired verification information is used for authenticity verification, then the productivity is improved, but the reliability decreases due to low-relevance or irrelevant information being included
Solution Approach 1:
The verification information selection unit acts as an intermediary that filters the verification information before it reaches the authenticity determination process. This intermediary performs relevance determination and selects only appropriate verification information, ensuring that productivity is maintained through automated processing while reliability is preserved by excluding irrelevant information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by treating different verification information differently based on its relevance to the assertion detail. Rather than uniformly processing all verification information, the system identifies and selectively processes only those pieces of information that have high relevance, giving them appropriate weight in the authenticity determination while filtering out low-relevance information.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit for acquiring verification information for verifying authenticity of an assertion detail of content, and a selection unit for determining whether the acquired verification information is used for verifying the authenticity of the assertion detail of the content based on the assertion detail extracted from the content. According to this information processing apparatus, it is also possible to make an appropriate decision based on a result of appropriate authenticity determination of the assertion detail of the content.
