iCheck: Computationally Combating "Lies, D-ned Lies, and Statistics"
Summary: iCheck models claims on structured data as parameterized queries and analyzes how perturbing parameters change results to gauge claim quality beyond accuracy. It counters cherry-picked evidence by measuring robustness, demonstrated on congress voting records, sports statistics, and publication records of database researchers.
