Description

THE FIRST APP THAT CAPTURE THE SOUND OF ONE NEWS ITEM FROM YOUR TV, RADIO, ETC AND

LETS YOU CHECK IT IN REAL TIME WITH MILLIONS OF STORIES AND GIVES YOU THE 6 MOST

WIDELY DIFFERING ANGLES OF COVERAGE ALL OVER THE WORLD. If lies have an increasing amount

of tools, then the truth has to have them too. That´s we created yournalist. The first app that lets you check

in real time, millions of stories of the same news item and gives you the 6 most widely differing angles of

coverage all over the world. Without any ideological or geographical bias. It starts like Shazam. Aim

your mobile towards your tv or radio when they are talking about a topic you are interested in. In real

time, YOURNALIST sends it to Watson, an IBM software that, with a deep learning algorithm, selects the

keywords to find just the news that matches yours.

Yournalist uses the latest advances in DEEP LEARNING. IT IS THE FIRST NEWS APP THAT CAPTURES

SOUND that then using IBM WATSON, BY MEANS OF SENTIMENT ALGORITHMS APPLIED TO

NATURAL LANGUAGE, processes it and identifies concepts, entities, people, and target sentiment,

WHICH IT CONVERTS INTO KEYWORDS with percentages of relevance that are used TO LOOK FOR

OTHER SIMILAR SOURCES that contain them. ONCE IDENTIFIED, IT MAKES AN INNOVATIVE SECOND

READING OF DATA BY WATSON: it uses the tool for the opposite reason for which it was designed

and, instead of similarities, TO FIND DIFFERENCES. IT THUS OBTAINS 6 NEWS ITEMS THAT ARE

DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER, AND OBJECTIVELY, WITHOUT IDEOLOGICAL BIAS, ONLY DEGREES

OF DIFFERENTIATION IN THE TREATMENT.
