Description
FindOurView (HodlPal Inc) is developing a digital communication platform with novel mechanisms that help people explore different views and find common ground, creating feedback mechanisms that enhances the intelligence of all stakeholders engaged in a discussion. Through a combination of natural language processing (NLP), innovative UI/UX and novel ranking algorithms, the FindOurView platform provides real-time perspective analysis enabling all stakeholders to easily see different views and find common ground by dynamically filtering content according to the views of different groups. From a systems-level perspective, FindOurView has engineered information selection, filtering, and transmission mechanisms that aim specifically to mitigate issues of "echo chambers", polarization in discussions, and vulnerability to misinformation, which are known to occur in large-scale digital communications platforms and networks. In Phase I FindOurView will explore the use of its platform as a service to multiple areas of the USAF to enhance readiness and resilience of its personnel and support networks.
