Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“However, unlike the approach for learning recursive robot strategies described in Sect. 5.1 the Relational Reinforcement approaches are based on the use of ground instances and do not involve predicate invention to extend the relational vocabulary provided by the user.”

In the citing paper
“Such a program is most economical when it is factored by object type, with one transition rule shared across all objects of a type, so that few parameters support many predictions and a rule learned from one object transfers to the rest [Diuk et al., 2008, Guestrin et al., 2003, Džeroski et al., 2001].”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Organizing the program by type ties many predictions to few rules, and it lets a rule learned from one object apply to every object of its type [Diuk et al., 2008, Džeroski et al., 2001, Battaglia et al., 2018].”

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.
