Techniques are presented for providing misinformation detection in online content. The described techniques can identify instances of misinformation in online content and pass a misinformation result to the user. A misinformation probability analysis can be performed by applying a syntactic analysis and a semantic analysis to detect misinformation with confidence by applying featurization to a URL, text of content referenced by the URL, and metadata associated with the URL using a feature set, the feature set comprising semantic-based features and syntactic-based features, wherein the semantic features and the syntactic features are selected from the group consisting of: sentiment amplifiers, sentiment continuity disruption features, lexical features, keywords, baseline features, speech act, sensicon features, emotion detection on the obtained text, exaggerated language, strong adjectives, heuristics, bag-of-words, objectivity, colloquial-ness score, and semantic difference.

An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine and an evaluation engine. The geometry engine analyzes design criteria, design objectives, and design heuristics associated with the urban design project and then generates numerous candidate designs. The design criteria specify a property boundary associated with a region of land to be developed. The design objectives indicate a specific type of topology that is derived from an existing urban layout. The design heuristics include different sets of construction rules for generating designs with specific types of topologies. The geometry engine generates candidate designs that conform to the property boundary and have topological characteristics in common with the existing urban layout.
