Automatic classification can introduce biases in the data, particularly when the end goal is measuring prevalence in the data rather than estimating specific labels.
“automatic classification, a common operation of this kind, can introduce biases in the data. This is particularly problematic when the end goal is not the estimation of specific labels, but measuring their prevalence in the data [e.g., Gao and Sebastiani (2016) discuss why the distinction between the two tasks is important, and why different evaluation metrics should apply].”

“Risks are also linked to the selection of the objective functions used to express various inference or prediction tasks (Wagstaff, 2012); such as using a wrong objective function that does not match the inference methodology (Gao and Sebastiani, 2016), or one that leads to undesirable behavior during the learning proc…”

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.
