Our prototype interactive system Pinocchio analyzes
claims related to COVID-19 to evaluate their credibility.
The fundamental principle underpinning Pinocchio is
corroboration. The system amasses a corpus of online
news articles from reputable news sources, processes
these articles using a Natural Language Processing pipeline to extract relevant information, and treats
them as external evidence to verify the claims.
