Congratulations on your progress on a classification tool with the sophistication and nuance to have real promise. Using this in recommendation engines and curation systems can provide a rapid payoff in the effort to counter fake news.

More broadly, this fits into the larger picture of what I call a “cognitive immune system” for our social media ecosystem. That requires integration into social media feeds (their ranking and filtering systems), in ways that apply not only this kind of direct intelligence about content items, but that also augment the wisdom of the crowd to add smarter social ranking (based not on rating the raters and weighting the ratings to consider which feedback is reliable). (More on that in my post, “A Cognitive Immune System for Social Media — Developing Systemic Resistance to Fake News.”)
