Subject: CLEF-2023 CheckThat! Lab -- Call for Participation
CheckThat! Lab at CLEF 2023
We invite you to participate in the 2023 edition of the CheckThat! Lab at
CLEF 2023. This year, we feature five tasks ---one follow-up and four
new--- that correspond to important components within and around the full
fact-checking pipeline in multiple languages:
Task 1 Check-worthiness in tweets: This is the sixth round of the
check-worthiness task. It allows us to reduce the workload of listening to
social media for tweets and claims that would require the attention of a
journalist. We offer two task modalities.
Subtask 1A: Multimodal tweets including text and picture (for the first
time!). Available in Arabic and English.
Subtask 1B: Unimodal tweets and claims. Available in Arabic, English and
Spanish.
Subtask 1C: US political debates, text only. Available in English
Task 2 Subjectivity in news articles: Distinguish whether a sentence from
a news article expresses the subjective view of the author behind it or
presents an objective view on the covered topic instead. Available in
Arabic, Dutch, English, Italian, German, and Turkish.
Task 3 Political bias of news articles and news media: Detect political
bias of news reporting at the article and at the media level. It includes
two subtasks:
Subtask 3A: Given an article, classify its political leaning as left,
center or right.
Subtask 3B: Given the URL to a news outlet (e.g., www.cnn.com), predict the
overall political bias of that news outlet as left, center or right leaning.
Available in English.
Task 4 Factuality of reporting of news media: Identify the factuality of
reporting at the media level. Given the URL to a news outlet the task asks
to predict the factuality of reporting of that news outlet: low, mixed, and
high. Available in English.
Task 5 Authority finding on twitter: Given a tweet stating a rumor, a
model has to retrieve a ranked list of authority Twitter accounts that can
help verify the rumor; i.e. they may tweet evidence that supports or denies
the rumor. Available in Arabic.

Abstract
Modern knowledge is committed to experimentation. At the latest with
Robert Hooke, it turns away from the older forms of deduction and
exegesis in order to turn to a practice of research that not only
depicts and represents nature, but at the same time intervenes in it –
both on the side of the object and on that of the subject. According to
Hooke, it is especially the use of instruments, “as it were the adding
of artificial organs to the natural,” that is characteristic for the
subject of experimental knowledge. The lecture develops this idea by
discussing the pioneering experiments Hermann von Helmholtz conducted
between 1850 and 1870 on the psychophysiology of the time. Special
attention is given to the recent hypothesis of the “extended mind”
(Clark, Chalmers, etc.), which seems suitable to discuss the specific
character and status of experimental knowledge.
Bio
Henning Schmidgen is a professor of media studies and the history of
science at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. He is also an expert in
historical epistemology, philosophy of technology, and machine
aesthetics and has published multiple books on these topics, including
/Horn, or The Counterside of Media///(2022) and /T//he Helmholtz Curves:
Tracing Lost Time///(2014).
