The Problem: Misinformation Spread

False information influences public opinion and decisions. How can we detect and prevent its spread?

Solution: DiddyEye Bot

DiddyEye combats misinformation by providing instant, automated fact-checking directly within Telegram. By combining advanced text analysis with AI-driven image detection, DiddyEye independently verifies the credibility of text-based claims and detects AI-generated images, ensuring users can separate fact from fiction in real time.

• Model 1: Claim Verification

  Uses natural language processing to extract keywords from an input claim, finds credible sources via Google Custom Search, scrapes content from various formats (HTML, XML, PDF), embeds both the claim and the sourced content, and then compares their vector representations to assess reliability. Features:

  • TF-IDF Keyword Extraction: Identifies key terms from the input claim.
  • Google Custom Search Integration: Uses extracted keywords to locate credible online sources.
  • Content Scraping: Retrieves text content from various formats (HTML, XML, PDF).
  • Embedding & Vector Comparison: Embeds both the claim and scraped content to compare similarity and determine credibility.
  • Reliability Score Provides a reliability score using cosine similarity
  • Explanation of Reliability Score Compares top sources with original claim and leverages OpenAI GPT4-o to provide users with an in-depth explanation of reliability score

• Model 2: AI Generator Image Detector

  With the rise of AI-generated images and online falsehood, manipulated content are harder to detect. DiddyEye allows user to verify images, seperating real images from AI images. Features:

  • AI-Genereated Image Detection Determines whether an image is AI-generate and provides a statistical analysis
  • Heatmap Visualization Highlights manipulated areas in AI-generated images for better transparency
