Toward Computational Fact-Checking
Summary: Models data-backed claims as parameterized queries, exposing properties such as cherry-picking by perturbing parameters and observing conclusions. Turns claim reverse-engineering and countering into efficient computational tasks via reusable algorithmic building blocks. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
