Knowledge and Experience UT Arlington - Research Experience Fact Checking with Freebase Spring 2016 Wrote queries in MQL to test whether factual statements could successfully be verified using a knowledge graph such as Freebase. Learned about the advantages of knowledge graphs and their properties within the context of fact checking. Claim to question conversion Summer 2016 Using NLP tools such as AlchemyAPI and WordNet. I explored methodologies for converting factual claims back into their corresponding questions. These could then be queried using knowledge graphs or existing databases, to test the accuracy/success of conversions.
