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...

Fig 4 is incorrect. Please view the corrected figure below. For each confusion matr...
متن کاملComputational Fact Checking from Knowledge Networks
Traditional fact checking by expert journalists cannot keep up with the enormous volume of information that is now generated online. Computational fact checking may significantly enhance our ability to evaluate the veracity of dubious information. Here we show that the complexities of human fact checking can be approximated quite well by finding the shortest path between concept nodes under pro...
متن کاملFact 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...
متن کاملFact Checking Congressional Voting Claims
Congressional voting records have historically been used both to attack and defend legislators during elections. Media spend a significant amount of effort fact checking claims on voting records, but manual checking requires considerable expertise and time and is difficult to scale up. As an aid to fact checkers and researchers, we have built a system called iCheck. iCheck enables in-depth expl...
