check(text, match_count_threshold=1)#

Check for mention of a tech in text

This check first strips the text of any tech “look-alike” words (e.g. “window”, “windshield”, etc for “wind” technology). Then, it checks for particular keywords, acronyms, and phrases that pertain to the tech in the text. If enough keywords are mentions (as dictated by match_count_threshold), this check returns True.

Parameters:

  • text (str) – Input text that may or may not mention the technology of interest.

  • match_count_threshold (int, optional) – Number of keywords that must match for the text to pass this heuristic check. Count must be strictly greater than this value. By default, 1.

Returns:

bool – True if the number of keywords/acronyms/phrases detected exceeds the match_count_threshold.
