Description
The proposed Automated Linguistic Analysis Revealing Misrepresentation and Messaging (ALARMM) system significantly advances the state of the art in detecting deception in unstructured data such as websites and chat messages. Our research focuses on automated techniques based on linguistic theory that can detect both misrepresentations and hidden messages. The proposed work draws on the field of sociolinguistics for advanced statistical techniques capable of leveraging a wide range of morphological, lexical, and grammatical features. We propose an open web-services based architecture.
