The Many Dimensions of Truthfulness: Crowdsourcing Misinformation Assessments on a Multidimensional Scale

1 code implementation3 Aug 2021 Michael Soprano, Kevin Roitero, David La Barbera, Davide Ceolin, Damiano Spina, Stefano Mizzaro, Gianluca Demartini

We deploy a set of quality control mechanisms to ensure that the thousands of assessments collected on 180 publicly available fact-checked statements distributed over two datasets are of adequate quality, including a custom search engine used by the crowd workers to find web pages supporting their truthfulness assessments.

Can the Crowd Judge Truthfulness? A Longitudinal Study on Recent Misinformation about COVID-19

1 code implementation25 Jul 2021 Kevin Roitero, Michael Soprano, Beatrice Portelli, Massimiliano De Luise, Damiano Spina, Vincenzo Della Mea, Giuseppe Serra, Stefano Mizzaro, Gianluca Demartini

Our results show that: workers are able to detect and objectively categorize online (mis)information related to COVID-19; both crowdsourced and expert judgments can be transformed and aggregated to improve quality; worker background and other signals (e. g., source of information, behavior) impact the quality of the data.

Cheap IR Evaluation: Fewer Topics, No Relevance Judgements, and Crowdsourced Assessments

no code implementations1 Nov 2020 Kevin Roitero

To evaluate Information Retrieval (IR) effectiveness, a possible approach is to use test collections, which are composed of a collection of documents, a set of description of information needs (called topics), and a set of relevant documents to each topic.
