  1. I Claim, U Check CPS 296 Will, Yunjia, Andrea, and Nikhil

  2. Purpose • The public is increasingly turning to the internet for news. Source reliability online is often questionable. • Weverify claims by checking: • Correctness • Goodness • Users input opinion on whether a particular claim is interesting by voting.

  3. Features Website contains multiple pages: • Home • Archive • Filter by subject category, dataset, template. • 3 sorting options • Query Selection • Metadata Selection • Results • Datasets (description of data) • About Main use cases are searching archive and creating claims.

  4. Home Page • Goal is to ensure quality entries and claim searches. • Provides users with specific instructions on how to use the website. • If website went public, would be a good place to promote the most interesting claims and credit good users.

  5. Archive • Contains previously created claims. • User can set filters for dataset and template used, and can select a number of different sorting methods. • Clicking on a retrieved result regenerates that claim and takes the user to the results page. • User gains a concise overview of claim validity

  6. Query • Templates: • Dominance: measures uniqueness and significance • Streak Analysis: measures number of times an event occurs. • Overall goodness corresponds to 1-5 metric: (Examples are provided on the site for each template type).

  7. Datasets • NBA Statistics about players' career and season performances. • Dominance and Streak templates • Supreme Court datasets with information about cases seen and voting records for each justice. • Streak template

  8. Design Challenges • Ensuring quality results from user queries • Tradeoff of information transparency vs. ease of use and generalizability. • How to define “goodness” using templates. • Creating logical multi-step flows for queries. Also, providing explanations and instructions without overburdening the user. • Creating visualizations for some templates is not as straightforward as for others. • Organizing previous claims

  9. Future Work • Add a database to the back end for user profiles (via Facebook or otherwise), settings, and saved comments. • Create a system of stable links for sharing query results. • Updating datasets in real time (or very regularly). • More templates and visualizations! • Interactive query modification. • Evaluation of different news sources based on submitted queries.
