Content Management Techniques Content Management Techniques for Fact-Checking: Models, Algorithms, and Tools – ContentCheck
Fact-checking is the task of assessing the factual accuracy of claims, typically prior to publication. Modern fact-checking is faced with a triple revolution in terms of scale, complexity, and visibility: many more claims are made and disseminated through Web and social media, they represent a complex reality and their investigation requires using multiple heterogeneous data source; finally, fact-checkig outputs themselves are interesting for the public wishing to cross-check the process. Our project brings together academic labs with expertise in data management, natural language processing, automated reasoning and data mining, and a fact-checking team of journalists from a major French Web media. We will work to establish fact-checking as a data management problem, endow it with sound foundations from the literature and/or new models as needed, design and deploy novel algorithms for automating fact-checking, and validate them by close interaction with the journalists.
