Exploring Multidimensional Checkworthiness: Designing AI-assisted Claim Prioritization for Human Fact-checkers

Given the massive volume of potentially false claims circulating online, claim prioritization is essential in allocating limited human resources available for fact-checking. In this study, we perceive claim prioritization as an information retrieval (IR) task: just as multidimensional IR relevance, with many factors i…

Human-centered NLP Fact-checking: Co-Designing with Fact-checkers using Matchmaking for AI

While many Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques have been proposed for fact-checking, both academic research and fact-checking organizations report limited adoption of such NLP work due to poor alignment with fact-checker practices, values, and needs. To address this, we investigate a co-design method, Matchma…

Snapper: Accelerating Bounding Box Annotation in Object Detection Tasks with Find-and-Snap Tooling

Object detection tasks are central to the development of datasets and algorithms in computer vision and machine learning. Despite its centrality, object detection remains tedious and time-consuming due to the inherent interactions that are often associated with drawing precise annotations. In this paper, we introduce…

The Challenge of Variable Effort Crowdsourcing & How Visible Gold Can Help

We consider a class of variable effort human annotation tasks in which the number of labels required per item can greatly vary (e.g., finding all faces in an image, named entities in a text, bird calls in an audio recording, etc.). In such tasks, some items require far more effort than others to annotate. Furthermore,…

Believe it or not: Designing a Human-AI Partnership for Mixed-Initiative Fact-Checking

Fact-checking, the task of assessing the veracity of claims, is an important, timely, and challenging problem. While many automated fact-checking systems have been recently proposed, the human side of the partnership has been largely neglected: how might people understand, interact with, and establish trust with an AI…
