Perception verbs are not usually modified with instruments or manners and thus bias toward noun-modification; action verbs usually collocate with a PP expressing instrument or manner and promote verb-modification.
“perception verbs ( see , hear , feel , etc.) are not usuallymodified with instruments or manners, and theythus bias toward the noun-modification interpretation of the PP. Action verbs, which usuallycollocate with a PP expressing the instrument or manner of the action (e.g., write with a pen , eat in a hurry ), promote the interpretation in which the PP modifies the verb (Spivey-Knowlton & Sedivy,”

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.
