A readable inventory of claims tools results and failures: a terms‑and‑conditions pipeline trains on 2,000 hand-annotated sentences to extract obligations permissions and risks and recommends LLM synthetic augmentation to reach ~10,000 examples; a fake‑news system combines RAKE NLTK POS/dependency parsing news APIs and reverse image search and cites 22M interactions and 10M+ tweets from 700k accounts; contradiction detection uses SNLI 570k pairs and GPT2/BERT embeddings; a prototype for mobility uses Arduino + ultrasound sensors + Bluetooth and an Android app — it works as a proof‑of‑concept but needs better UX.
