Fact Checking: Final Report (3 year investigation)
Herein we compare the above (text 1) with the following description (text 2).
We carefully, scrupulously and step by step extracted an ordered list of factual claims from these texts,
minimising duplication in the case of synonyms and near synonyms.
We sought to identify those statements which appearto be asserted in both texts, since the texts are
of somewhat independent provenance. Veracity estimates are shown using a table for all claims and
have columns for in_both, claim_text, in_1st, in_2nd, implies_true, implies_false.
The last two cols give brief examples of some implied claims which should fact check to either true
or false, to aid further verification. For example, “Linda is a feminist bank teller” implies and
requires both “Linda is a feminist”, “Linda is a bank teller”, but neither of those implies the former.
Another example: something created in a particular year is not typically considered to have existed in
previous years - this csn be used to populate “implies_false”.
Remember that non-textual data cells will contain either a tick/check, a cross, or a question mark in emoji.
2nd text: “””
