we are three researchers (Felix, Jonathan, Johannes) and over the past years, we've been doing research on polarization and misinformation. This is our prototype for a platform for collaborative fact-checking.
What we have so far:
- automated detection for rhetorical fallacies in posts
What we are building next:
- calculate fact check results taking all the votes and comments in a thread into account
- game theoretical reputation system with incentives for honesty
- bias correction for votes with matrix factorization (similar to Community Notes)
- crowdfunding of fact checks (money distributed to contributors based on the effectiveness of their comments and votes)
