An online system to automatically verify new title submissions by checking for similarities with existing titles

Source

Source summary

Build PRGI title-verification software comparing submissions with its existing title database. Check phonetic/spelling similarity, prefixes/suffixes, prohibited terms, combinations of existing titles, equivalent meanings across languages and periodicity added to existing names. Provide similarity percentages and an estimated verification likelihood while enforcing the source's listed guidelines. Handle about 160,000 existing titles and pending applications, give rejection reasons and allow revision. The source targets responses under two seconds and proposes a similarity-based verification score; that score is a specified heuristic, not a calibrated statistical probability.
