Toward Computational Fact-Checking
Summary: Models data-based claims as parameterized queries; perturbing parameters reveals claim sensitivity and potential cherry-picking. Proposes a modular algorithmic framework to enable reverse-engineering vague claims and countering questionable ones, with real-world experiments.
