Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“For instance, it is impossible to provide a decision tree learner (Quinlan, 1986, 1993) this infinite relation because it would require an infinite feature table.”
From Inductive Logic Programming At 30: A New Introduction (2022) · cites this paper as Quinlan, 1986
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Quinlan's (1990) FOIL system is one of the most well-known ILP systems and is a natural extension of ID3 (Quinlan, 1986) from the propositional setting to the first-order setting.”
From Inductive Logic Programming At 30: A New Introduction (2022) · cites this paper as Quinlan, 1986
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“For instance, TILDE extends a decision tree learner (Quinlan, 1986, 1993) to the first-order setting and uses the same information gain methods to induce hypotheses.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
