国会投票记录历来被用来在选举期间攻击和捍卫立法者。媒体花费大量精力对投票记录进行事实核查，但人工核查需要大量专业知识和时间，而且难以扩大规模。为了帮助事实核查人员和研究人员，我们建立了一个名为iCheck的系统。iCheck可以从沿着多个维度深入探索国会投票记录：时间、政党、特殊利益集团和总统支持。iCheck使用一种称为扰动分析的计算程序来帮助检查索赔并发现有趣的索赔，该程序自动考虑索赔结论在大量不同背景下的变化。
Congressional voting records have historically been used both to attack and defend legislators during elections. Media spend a significant amount of effort fact checking claims on voting records, but manual checking requires considerable expertise and time and is difficult to scale up. As an aid to fact checkers and researchers, we have built a system called iCheck. iCheck enables in-depth exploration of congressional voting records along multiple dimensions: time, political parties, special interest groups, and Presidential support. iCheck helps check claims and find interesting claims using a computational procedure called perturbation analysis, which automatically considers how a claim’s conclusion changes in a large number of different contexts.
