Abstract

If asked to name common emotions, most people, including those interested in psychiatric topics, would start with happiness, sadness, and go on to fear and anger.Few would consider the emotion of disgust.We will argue that this basic emotion is important not only to many aspects of our daily lives but is also central to a range of psychiatric phenomena.

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.
