Exaggerated Claims for Interactive Stories
As advertising becomes more crucial to video games’ success, developers risk promoting their products beyond the features that they can actually include. For features of interactive storytelling, the effects of making such exaggerations are not well known, as reports from industry have been anecdotal at best. In this paper, we explore the effects of making exaggerated claims for interactive sto...
متن کاملForensic bitemark identification: weak foundations, exaggerated claims
Several forensic sciences, especially of the pattern-matching kind, are increasingly seen to lack the scientific foundation needed to justify continuing admission as trial evidence. Indeed, several have been abolished in the recent past. A likely next candidate for elimination is bitemark identification. A number of DNA exonerations have occurred in recent years for individuals convicted based ...
متن کاملBrain Gain: Claims about Its Size and Impact on Welfare and Growth Are Greatly Exaggerated
Brain Gain: Claims about Its Size and Impact on Welfare and Growth Are Greatly Exaggerated Based on static partial equilibrium analysis, the “new brain drain” literature argues that, by raising the return to education, a brain drain generates a brain gain that is, under certain conditions, larger than the brain drain itself, and that such a net brain gain results in an increase in welfare and g...
متن کاملTesting alarm-based earthquake predictions
S U M M A R Y Motivated by a recent resurgence in earthquake predictability research, we present a method for testing alarm-based earthquake predictions. The testing method is based on the Molchan diagram—a plot of miss rate and fraction of space–time occupied by alarm—and is applicable to a wide class of predictions, including probabilistic earthquake forecasts varying in space, time, and magn...
متن کاملAn NLP Analysis of Exaggerated Claims in Science News
The discrepancy between science and media has been affecting the effectiveness of science communication. Original findings from science publications may be distorted with altered claim strength when reported to the public, causing misinformation spread. This study conducts an NLP analysis of exaggerated claims in science news, and then constructed prediction models for identifying claim strengt...
