Selecting Data to Clean for Fact Checking: Minimizing Uncertainty vs. Maximizing Surprise
Summary: Studies selective data cleaning for fact-checking, contrasting uncertainty minimization with maximizing counterargument probability—and showing their divergence can induce bias. Develops efficient algorithms for complex nonlinear objectives, generalizable beyond fact-checking. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
