While I like the ideas, isn't this related to the issue (very few notes exposed) discussed here: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-twitter-birdwatch-community-notes-misinformation-politics/

The U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) published a roadmap today for research on information integrity:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Roadmap-Information-Integrity-RD-2022.pdf

They outline four priority areas: 1) modeling & analyzing info ecosystems; 2) investigating safeguards (e.g. media literacy) to support healthier engagement with information; 3) envisioning technical approaches to support information integrity; 4) developing/evaluating strategies for addressing manipulative information campaigns.

Why do tree-based methods work so well with tabular data compared to NNs?

1. they're less sensitive to bad features
2. they're not invariant to data rotations
3. they can easily learn irregular functions

Thanks Robert, this is useful. I am interested in the figure of "third party auditors" for large platforms. Is it the case that those are going to be people within the EU commission (or EDPS, or other EU groups), or can be NGOs or experts from, say, academia (as in my case)?

#ChatGPT from #OpenAI can verify simple factual claims (with great explanations!), but fails on those from the Feverous (#FEVERworkshop ) dataset. The two failing claims can be answered with information in Wikipedia

It does not answer to questions about claims on some (political) topics.
