An AI address recognition bot plan to analyze language and compile it into a database stop when it assay to analyze Trump ’s words patterns , its Maker toldThe Los Angeles Times .
Factba.seis a task that aims to track every word from Donald Trump available , from speeches and interviews to Facebook posts and his vast catalog of tweets . Since the task began three class ago , the team have amass over 1,000 hours of TV and transcribe over 10,594,000 word from 1976 until now . To do this , CEO ofFactSquaredBill Frischling create Margaret , an AI bot for recording .
Frischling tried his AI bot on a unretentive section of a Trump speech memorialise the anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea . The speech – with all of Trump ’s syntax , mannerism , bomber - clauses within subclauses that make up his typical style – caused Margaret to crash almost instantaneously .
" It was still trying to punctuate it like it was English , " Frischling explained toThe Los Angeles Times , " versus trying to punctuate it like it was Trump . "
To reset the trouble , he had to make it un - learn English grammar and common syntax , and alternatively learn Trump ’s pattern of words . Though the tool is mainly used to compile , without analysis or whirl , a database of everything Trump has said , the tool can be used to learn more about Trump ’s demeanour . The creature monitors not just his actor’s line but his mannerisms and compares what he ’s saying against independent fact checks so as to ascertain whether he ’s differentiate the accuracy or not .
For instance , Frishling toldThe Los Angeles Timesthat Trump does n’t appear stress when he ’s lie . He also slows down his speech communication from 220 intelligence per moment ( the national average is around 110 to 150 words per minute of arc ) to 111 words when he read from a teleprompter . According to Frishling , the bot can spot when Trump is genuinely tempestuous rhyme pretending to be by how tersely he speaks and how he gesticulate with his blazonry ( less waving of the branch argue he ’s delirious ) .
This is n’t the first bot to analyse Trump ’s unique style of talk and writing , though it seems to be the one that ’s read in the most of his words . One AI botback in 2016 even undertake to tweet out tweet in his elan , under the Twitter handleDeepDrumpf . The creator of that bot said that he was inspired by a bot that had been prepare to make quote in the fashion of Shakespeare and thought that it would be easier to apply to Trump due to a report that claimed Trump speak at an elementary school level , Quartz reports .
The results were tweets that , though they mimic his patterns to a sure extent , were non - sensical and probably could have gain from get to the entireFactba.sedatabase .
