According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to Trustify, an intelligent platform for detecting and validating the authenticity of online reviews. The system comprises a transformer-based natural language understanding model, an explainability engine, and a counterfactual validation module to classify reviews as genuine or deceptive while ensuring interpretability and reliability. Trustify processes review text through preprocessing, tokenization, embedding generation, and classification, outputting both a predicted label and confidence score. The explainability engine highlights key textual features influencing the classification, and the counterfactual module introduces minor perturbations to verify prediction stability. The platform supports scalable deployment via web and mobile interfaces, APIs, or browser extensions, and is optimized for GPU-based inference, enabling high-speed analysis of large-scale datasets. Trustify enhances digital trust, promotes review authenticity, and mitigates the spread of deceptive content across online review ecosystems."
