Data In, Fact Out: Automated Monitoring of Facts by FactWatcher
Summary: FactWatcher automates monitoring of data-backed facts in append-only databases, spotting situational, one-of-the-few, and prominent streak facts via a unified data model, algorithm framework, and fact ranking. Incremental, insert-triggered discovery avoids exhaustive testing and delivers end-to-end support: ranking, fact-to-statement translation, and keyword-based search for journalists.
