Toward Computational Fact-Checking

Our news are saturated with claims of “facts” made from data. Database research has in the past focused on how to answer queries, but has not devoted much attention to discerning more subtle qualities of the resulting claims, e.g., is a claim “cherry-picking”? This paper proposes a framework that models claims based on structured data as parameterized queries. A key insight is that we can learn...

Sur Application Du Calcul Des Probabilités Aux

We determine the length of a great arc, on the surface of the Earth, by a chain [422] of triangles which are supported on a base measured with exactitude. But whatever precision that we bring into the measure of the angles, their inevitable errors can, by accumulating, deviate sensibly from the truth, the value of the arc that we have concluded from a great number of triangles. We know therefor...

Fact Checking in Community Forums

Community Question Answering (cQA) forums are very popular nowadays, as they represent effective means for communities around particular topics to share information. Unfortunately, this information is not always factual. Thus, here we explore a new dimension in the context of cQA, which has been ignored so far: checking the veracity of answers to particular questions in cQA forums. As this is a...
