Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Numbers contain information about scales and are common and crucial in the Data-to-Text task.
“numbers contain information about scales and are common and crucial in the Data-toText task [240, 315].”
From Survey of Hallucination in Natural Language Generation (2023) · cites this paper as [240]
The Data Acquisition and Table Representation sections describe numerical tables and treat numerical values as central inputs to table-to-text generation. Our copy does not say that numbers convey information about scales or establish that they are common across the Data-to-Text task generally. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
