Yes, I've heard about these systems. Quite clever.
However, from a practical sense - the HG is the confirmer of truth.
Mathematics is merely a language that describes natural processes
with both precision and accuracy.
They are both handy tools, but I fail to see where such an effort to
analyze articles on JS will yield anything of real value and move the
mission statement of the Church along in a meaningful way.
As one of my prof's (Fred Gruenberg - RAND fellow) used to say
about technology: "Just because we can, does not mean we should..."

possible using modern algorithms and techniques to divide the results

Joseph Smith and articles neutral to Joseph Smith with reasonable
accuracy.
There's been a bit of research in this in the past five years. There
was two talks I heard at a recent Computational Lingustics Conference
on this topic. The systems they talked about did quite well. One I
think achieved around 98% accuracy at deciding was written by a
pakestani or israeli point of view. Of course, these systems worked
with a small set of articles and a small set of domains so applying
this research to internet scope tools probably would be quite
challenging. But, I could see a tool like this as a possibility in the
future.
