Statistical Claim Checking: StatCheck in Action

Résumé

Fact-checking is a staple of journalists’ work. As more and more important data is available in electronic format, computational fact-checking, leveraging digital data sources, has been gaining interest from the journalists as well as the computer science community. A particular class of interesting data sources are statistics, that is, numerical data compiled mostly by governments, administrations, and international organizations. We propose to demonstrate StatCheck, a fact-checking system specialized in the French media arena. StatCheck builds upon a prior pipeline [CMT17 , CMT18 , DCMT19] for fact-checking statistical claims against the INSEE national statistic institute’s data and reports. In collaboration with factchecking journalists from France Info (Radio France), we have revisited and improved this pipelined, and enlarged its database by an order of magnitude by adding all Eurostat statistics. StatCheck also includes two novel statistic claim extraction modules, generalizing and improving over [DCMT19]. Based on the journalists’ feedback, we built a new user interface, suiting better their needs. We will showcase StatCheck on a variety of scenarios, where statistical claims made in social media are checked against our statistic data.
