10. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the program instructions to generate the visual representation comprises program instructions to select from a group comprising one or more statistical analyses of the referenced data and one or more graphical representations of the referenced data from the data source.
7. A computer system comprising: one or more processors and one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to receive text information; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to compare the received text information against a data source, wherein the comparing comprises applying natural language processing (NLP) to determine one or more assertion statements in the text information that references data from the data source, wherein comparing the received text information against the data source includes dynamically analyzing the received text information as the text information is received; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to retrieve the referenced data associated with the one or more assertion statements from the data source; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to generate a visual representation of the referenced data associated with the one or more assertion statements, wherein the program instructions to generate the visual representation comprises program instructions to generate one or more statistical analyses of the referenced data for determining veracity of the one or more assertion statements, wherein the one or more statistical analyses comprise one or more inferential statistics from the referenced data; and program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to display the visual representation, wherein the display is integrated with an authoring interface.
