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?

  • Johansson's point-light display experiments suggest that the visual properties of the face regarding expression information could be made clear by describing the movements of points belonging to facial features and analyzing the relationships between those movements.

    “The experiments suggest that the visual properties of the face, regarding the information about the shown facial expression, could be made clear by describing the movements of points belonging to the facial features (eyebrows, eyes, and mouth) and then by analyzing the relationships between those movements.”
  • The correct classification ratio varies depending on familiarity with the face, familiarity with the personality of the observed person, general experience with different types of expressions, attention given to the face, and nonvisual cues.

    “This ratio varies depending on several factors: the familiarity with the face, the familiarity with the personality of the observed person, the general experience with different types of expressions, the attention given to the face and the nonvisual cues (e.g., the context in which an expression appears).”
  • There is growing psychological research arguing that timing of facial expressions is a critical factor in the interpretation of expressions.

    “Finally, there is now a growing psychological research that argues that timing of facial expressions is a critical factor in the interpretation of expressions [1], [5], [34].”

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.
